well they may not be built to carry the weight of a 2500 lb car.. not only that, the center hole isnt even round, I doubt they would even fit

I wouldnt wanna spend 80 bucks x4 for wheels I don't think would fit :P

Those wheels are generally built to support 600 lbs, and no, you can't make 4 of them add up to 2400 lbs.

I wouldn't use 600lb jackstands, much less wheels.

Also the offset looks like those wheels would be pushed WAAAAY out of your fenders.

thanks, so now I can get 14 or 15 inch konigs rewinds?

Expand tire choices by spending more on rims than what my car is worth?? $$

My alternative would be to buy a more contemporary car..$$$$$$$$$
