89 GXL with 93 wheelsA

I just bought this RX7 from a real dumb ***, he had 93 wheels on it with adapters up front. The steering wheel vibrated into a blur. Does anyone know if these wheels will fit with a 205 up front or is the offsett to great? Im not a fan of spacers.
I dont understand ho he drove this car like this. I just put the factory wheel back and and no more vibration. Should I sell these wheels?

It could be that the tires are out of balance. Pay $30 and get them all rebalanced and see what happens before selling them off.....

Or sell them to me really, really cheap

if it has spacers/adapters, and he's a dumbass, I can guarantee they were not hub centric.

either pick up some true hubcentric spacers/adapters or rock the stocks.

He prolly used washers or some **** as spacers...anyway check out the spacer situation first, then get em rebalanced (if spacers check out), and if all else fails, use stock rims again, or sell them and buy new aftermarket rims.
