Petrol Wheels, what do you think?
Hello everyone,

they are a nice looking wheel..prob is, once you start looking into the offset, your actually goin higher than factory spec and the wheels will actually look sunk in...i have liked the look of petrol wheels myself, look clean for the money, but once i learned about offset, i realized that pretty much most budget costing wheels that look good, have one flaw...HIGH OFFSETS...if you wanna stay in that budget..go XXR...same price and a bit better offset...i had two sets myself....actually getting rid of my second set now trying to get my third LOL!

well i have lower offsets to begin with and STILL have 25mm spacers....hey, if you got the cash and wanna ball out for some wheels....i always loved the vsxx's...i just really have a hard time dropping coin that high for wheels...lol..

If you're going to buy some new wheels, try to pick them in the proper offset that you want / desire.
Kind of a waste of cash to get wheels with such a high offset to only have to run a massive spacer later down the road.

Don't do it....!
There are two issues with these wheels, quality & fitment! You could buy big azz spacers to correct one issue but when it comes to quality there's no way to know if these wheels will come apart at speed. Quality is the main issue I have buying anything on eBay.

Thx fellas. Just about everyone of you have given a comment I agree with. Dropping 3k on a set of wheels has always been a hard one for me but I just might. You pay for what you get. Gonna do it right. Do it eight the first time . Ehhhhhh I hate how into these cars I am LOL. ANYWAYS, Thx again fellas!
