18" QT rims

i can get ahold of these rims for $375 for all 4. They were only driven to shows (the car was a show car). My question is, will they fit (they say for 5x114, but im asking about the 114.3) but as far as 18" goes, and also, how do you guys think they would look?
They are alloy so the weight wont be too awfully bad, but what do you guys think about how it would affect performance?
thanks

remember you get what you pay for. I have a rule of thumb. I never buy anything from pepboys performance center.

Whats the offset on them, thats really important in determining if they will fit. Rims would look nice on a 7.

according to the website, they are 18x7.5 with a 42mm offset. Will they fit? and does anybody know the weight?
will the bigger size help w/ traction?
thanks

Nope, that will not fit an FC, without you using spacers. Bigger size would also hurt traction, due to the smaller, stiffer sidewall.
