Wheel Advice, serious question help please

OK. long story short: cant afford to go big on ball out on nice @SS rims. so i tried craigs list and found this:

SCROLL DOWN TO WHERE IT HAS THE 19 INCH WHEELS!!
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/316977960.html

granted theres only 3 different models, they dont seem half bad for the price!! 550 for a set of 4!! anyone think theyr priced that way for a reason? worth a shot? how about the offsets, are they ok? WOULD TIRES FROM MY OEM 19's FIT THEM?


i need some real opinions please!!

i feel the same exact way..hell, i'd even stick with oem 18s and powdercoat those babies..

but different strokes for different folks

last two wheel will fit, as vhtran said. but the offsets are terrible.

I would powder coat your OEM 19s, get 10m spacer, and then put a low profile tire on them and they will be baller.

As for the wheels on craigs list, the offsets are all way to "soft". They will be tucked towards the inside of the car more than the OEM wheels, they just wont look right. Those offsets would be fine for the sedan, but not the coupe.

Powder coat your OEM 19s, throw a set of 10MM spacers on, wrap them in some good low profile rubber and you will be all set.
