I agree with your comment about quality and finish, just don't use the "expensive is better" mentality as a point of argument

how is a 2 piece cast piaa super rozza lower in quality than a 2 piece cast work varianza t1s? The finishes are comparable and the manufacturing is comparable so where is the quality difference?

Could maybe use 5mm spacers if you're looking to get really flush. I'd run 275/35 not 30. If you want wider tires you'd have no problem running them with that width of wheels.

I actually looked at a set of these once for my DG - matches really well. I need to save up again for rims.

Not really, he can run up to a 275 in the front and up to a 295 in the rear, how much wider would he need to go?

The tires that come with the wheels have pretty good tread left so i will probally change the tires to those sizes once they are worn out. Yea they look really good.

Oh yeah forgot that you were purchasing a set with tires already... GL and look forward to seeing the wheels if we both make it out to a meet soon.

Oh, and if you ever want to sell them...
