just looking for a 15x8 that doesnt cost more than the car.
I like them. Are you wanting to go with black wheels? I like black wheels, but only on certain color cars. The same wheels are on EBay in polished aluminum for $400 (set of 4). If I was in the market, i would buy a set before spending so much on draglites.
Personally, I feel black wheels have been over played. And, as mentioned, color of car would help decide for me. For me, polished, chrome or milled/forged/natural finish works better.

Why 15x8 wheels?
If you don't like or want to up size to big diameter wheels such as 17" or 18" I understand. I would still recommend checking pricing on 16" wheels and tires. The big reason being that there are just more choices in 16" tires than most 15" tires these days or at least in popular sizes that fit a Fox.
I do recommend looking at the total cost of wheels and tires just to be safe. Obviously you will replace tires more often normally so tire costs are always a factor.
As for the wheels, they don't do anything for me personally, but they aren't a bad looking wheel. I agrees that the Basset D holes can look pretty cool on the right Fox. I feel the same as others above in regards to black wheels. Personally a bit played out and I generally prefer silver/polished/milled and even sometimes chrome over black, but they do look good on the right car. Good Luck!

This. But who cares what we think? It's yours and if you ever go to sell it, let's face it, that's pretty easy to change. My cars usually end up with 3 or 4 different wheels if I keep them long enough. I get bored with one thing. Go for it if you like them and they are in your budget.

I like them overall, but I prefer a silver rim to contrast with the rest of the wheel, or else it looks too black

My first car had some unknown brand wheels like that, but with 10 round holes. They were all rusted and i spray painted them black. Id like a set like that, just to remind me of my first car.
