What do you think about the gold BBS RXs?

Hi everyone

I'm looking for a winter setup with good looking rims without chrome and I know everyone believes the blizzaks are best when it comes to tires but I wonder what you guys think about gold BBS RXs?
Also what do you think I should offer as a price for these wheels? Is $1,100 too much?

Here's where I found the wheels

Thanks for your time g35driver community!

not a huge fan of bbs on our cars but thats my opinion however i wouldn't buy it from that seller just due to the fact that it is such a huge item and the seller states its not in show condition and aren't very good pics he photoshopped them on other cars

welcome and post some pics of your car !

I don't mind that they're not in show quality. I only want them for when there's snow. Do you think they really look that bad? Idk I love BBS wheels and these are kinda sick with that lip and concave spokes. Besides they have no damage, scratches etc! What do you think I should offer? I don't want to lowball the seller and not get a chance of buying them at all :-/

IMO you can't go wrong with BBS. I think those would make a great track or winter set up. Priced nicely too. What color is your G btw?

It's silver that's why I am having second thought about the gold color.
As far as 8" being too thin I'm not too concerned because I can always fit a larger tire and for snow I def. want a larger tire.

Winter set up, you want em thin to cut through thick snow patches.

Running fat tires in the snow is going to suck. (unless you're talking about tire height than yea cool, you just don't want them wide)

These would be great, but if they are just your winter wheels, go with a cheaper wheel than BBS. Like XXR, you can pick up a decently nice set of those for like $600 brand new.

BBS are nice wheels but they will look awful on a G, I personally like the gold color but the offset will make it look like an accord or camry. Buy the 07+ 18" OEM sport wheels, just my 2 cents.

Never liked gold or bronze (or even the green, shiney red, or blue ones) wheels on our cars. They detract from the overall look and it looks like the person is trying much, much too hard to draw attention and look kool (just my .02 cents):
