they'd be better if they were flush in the rear...they would look good on a white car tho, but you do have a tan top so it may clash with that.

With a tan top...the gray center looks good. The tan top means I can only to gray, silver or chrome.

Looks really good and it will look better without the spacers. I say go for it if you have the money. Don't use them until after winter though.

WHY? Get BBS rims that are on clearance ...

BBS RK020 -- 18 x 8.5" +25 offset. Weight 19.0 lb each.

Go to the BBS USA website ... order direct. Set of 4 (cast) rims ... $880, including shipping!!! (Call 877-832-8209).

Sorry ... I don't know too much about those rims ... but still ... $2400 seems a little steep, based upon the pics. Maybe they're hawt when you see them in person.

If you look at various forums, people ALWAYS have the hardest time selling custom forged wheels. However, 2400 seems like a fair price. I would give him an offer of 3k with tires and see if he bites. Just make sure the offsets are correct so you dont have that ghetto looking rear that he does.

He said he wants $2450 for the wheels and tires IF they don't go with the car. The wheels and tires have 800 miles on them....thats why I want them!

OK Man... everything you have said... says you want them really bad... get some center caps... don't use spacers... and buy them with the tires...until you need some more.... ENJOY!!! Life's too darn short!

He has the center caps, he just hasn't put them on because he is scared to hit them with a rubber mallet.
