Interesting design.
I don't trust their fitment though because the person has them listed for front wheel drive vehicles also.
FWD has a completley different offset.

Actually SEs use the same offset ie 38 vs Honda 40, so they would work, and yes definatly a tribal rotor

the one pictured are fwd rims due to no back spacing at all you can always tell when it a fwd rim the front will almost be flush with the rim if it is for rwd the car the center part of the rim will be set in side of the actual rim if its just a little bit

You need to read about the SE rims, the difference is 2 mm, damn guys, I have take offs from a Honda on my car, 114.3 x 16 x 40 offset, they are completely different to the 110 spaced rim offset.

Basically what you are calling FWD is what a GSL-SE has, the stock rims are "flush" as you put it.

I just find it weird that those rims are only available in 4 bolt sizes, but he couldn't be bothered to put a picture of a 4 bolt rim. Also if you look closely at the SE rims, even though they look flush, the centres are more inboard than flush.

GSL-SE offset 40mm... average 114.3x4 honda offset... ... 40mm

If you're just going by the pic... it's been pointed out that it's a five lug rim... so for sure NOT the actual rim that you will get.

A+ for the rotor

meh overall.
