Wheels opinion??

Whats up all, just wanted to get everyone's opinion on a setup I might purchase.
I found an unbelievable deal on a set of Piaa Rozza 19x9 19x10.5, seller is unsure of offsets but I think they're +25.. anyways, condition is great, tires are sort of bad but those will be replaced. They've been plasti dipped matt black. I cant speak for the quality of the job but I will find out on Saturday when I see them. Depending on quality ill be having them refinished by my local wheel shop, unsure of the color.

My car is twilight blue, and I have the brembo package. I'm lowered a solid 2.5-2.7 inches all around, but my rear fenders are rolled. I was wondering if anyone had some insight into fitting these on their cars.. its a pretty aggressive setup but my hopes are that I wont have to modify anything to fit these on... including my ride height. I've seen a lot of threads and pics with these on our cars but honestly they all seem to be sitting higher than my car is right now.

Heres a reference to what they look like, these are not the actual wheels but by the looks, they are identical dimensions:

I most likely will be stripping them of the color. I'm getting them for $425

If they were finished like they are on the Black G35, I'd like them. $425 is a deal provided they aren't curbed to hell and have dents in the rim from potholes. Def check that out first.

I'm not a fan of the black wheels trend. I'd prob polish the "dish" part of the wheel and paint the spokes gunmetal with a clear.

How's the quality of them? Seen so many different reviews.
And +1 on the gunmetal or just any color other than black. The wheels will pop all the more being a lighter color from your TB. Much better choice.

+1 to what Mustang said...I got a set of wheels that the seller refused to remove the dip from...found out after removing it that one wheel had been cracked and welded in the past >.>

I agree with the color choice.. ill most likely be getting rid of the dip and bring the chrome rim back out. As far as spokes color goes im fond of either gun metal or gold, but this is all assuming they check out for quality.

I doubt I'm as low as you but I have the same wheels, with the exception of the rears: 19x10". They are 25 offset which should be fine on your car depending on which size tires and the camber you plan on running. I'm only at about -1.5 camber in the rear with a 295x30mm tire and I have room to play with (rear fenders rolled). My front fenders are not flattened and on rare occasions I rub with the wheels turned but thats because of the 275x30's on the front, I think my front camber is -1.0.

Im currently cambered out a lot if that makes sense, but I intend to fix it. I have a camber kit installed, I just needa do the toe bolt mod and get a alignment but I plan to run similar camber to what you are running now.

The rears should be okay with a test fit because the camber is so terrible, its really the front im questioning as they arent rolled whatsoever. Im unsure at this point what tire sizing im gonna be running, but im not looking to go too meaty. Its mainly gonna be reserved for a summer set up .

Many times the plastidip is just a cover to hide the curb rash.
