Anyone know these wheels?

There is a set for sale localy and the seller says they are Tommy Kaira or something like that but I can't seem to find them on my google search, so I need Azine help.

Specs are 18x8 +36 (F) and 18x9 +37 (R)

I yet have to see them in person but in the description it says that the lip needs to be polished and the wheels have to be washed. He also wants 780$ so I don't know if it's worth it but I plan to try and talk down the price.

imputs and thoughts as to how they would look on a silver 3G please

Tommy Kaira is a Japanese tuning company. These wheels look like they came off a Tommy Kaira r33 or something around that era. In my opinion they belong on an older car and would look out of place on a 3G TL.

^ yea I was thinking about that too, I don't like them that much on that r33, but I don't know if it's because they are sunken in or wheel gap or both. I will still test fit them so I can see if I like them or not on a 3g, the guy is local so it doesn't cost me anything.

I hope so man I hope so. And I will test fit them with 10mm spacer in the front and 15mm spacer in the back. I wanna see if I can get them to as flush as possible.

Well it doesn't seem like I will be getting these, the seller doesn't wanna let me test fit the wheels. The only way I can do it apparently is outside in the snow at -15C this weekend and I am not willing to do that. I asked him to give me 1 front and 1 back wheel with a 400$ deposit and my drivers license so I can go and test them in my garage where I don't have to freeze my ass off but he is not down with that. And he doesn't want to come with me to test them. just seems like he doesn't wanna sell these at all
