if ur looking at a set for 4x110 pattern, u wont find a REASONABLE price. those that post them on Ebay ask WAY too much for them just because they're hard to find and try to get a premium price for them. if u can find a set in good shape with absolutely no damage, be expected to pay around $600 for them.

My favorite wheel, I have them on the widebody. I've seen them of late anywhere from 250 to 1100. I don't think the low price seller knew what he had. A couple of years ago, 4-500 seemed like a reasonable price, in the past year they have shot up. Now anything under 800 seems to be a good price.

Look them over carefully. They are a very light, thin spun aluminum wheel that dents and bends easily. Cannot recommend low, low profile tires, I would say 50 series minimum. I may try a 40-45 series when the time comes for the rears, don't know yet.

15X7s will catch on the front fenders with lowering springs and 225/50/15 tires.

Post pics and prices. If you find a miss matched set with 15X9/10 for the rear and want all 4 15X7, I would be interested in a trade.

Camocarl had the same problem with his. I think he was going to try 205/50/25 tires, don't know if he did or not. You might try PMing him and see what he did.

Rolling the fenders might get enough clearance, I don't know for sure though.
