Those rims look nice, my concern would be what offsets they come with. They shouldn't be higher than mid 20s so you don't have clearance issues. Then there's a quality issue, price is extremely cheap. What seems like a good deal could come back and bite you in the....you know! Gary

They definitely do look nice, but I would definitely worry about the quality. I've just heard horror stories about BBS reps from off brand companies falling apart. just my 2 cents. For under 1500 it's possible to find steal deals on sets of volks. You just have to be persistent and try to find some local. Factoring out shipping costs, I just sold a set in decent condition with average tires and netted out 1900. Even vossens, while despised on this forum, are starting to sell for cheaper on g37 forums.

Check your local shops. Smaller stores don't like to sit on inventory and may cut you a clearance price on wheels that are in stock. I got my works brand new for 1500, was lucky to come across something I like that the shop wanted to sell though- results may vary :/

I found that searching the nearby areas as well helped. Like I live in Norcal, and I looked on the Socal Craigslist and it have me way more options. You would be willing to drive X miles to get wheels once right?

Offset is 15 front and 20 back as the description states.

Check out XXR 521. Almost the same but better quality in my opinion. I have them now. They're great.
