What do you guys think of these rims on a 88 FC vert?
A person I know has these rims for sale. They're almost brand new and have brand new tires with them. They're 18 and I think 7.5.
She wants $800 for them, but she's been sitting on them for about 1 1/2 years in her garage so she might take $600 cash.
They'll be going on my 88 panda white FC vert.

Might be OK on a Toyota Tundra pickup if you like ugly wheels, but not on a sports car. What makes you even think they would fit your car? Did you try them? I'd have better uses for that kind of money on my car.

One of my friends told me about them and sent me some pics. So the 1st thing I did was asked here. I knew what would be said about them on here though (

Well to help you, I asked about the fitment as I bought an 88 vert last summer and it came with real neat wide Japanese racing rims. I had to buy new tires and I just got the tire size off the rear tires, and phoned the order in, not even thinking the front tires were a different size, the rear tires were too fat and fouled the front shocks. So I had to buy a pair of narrower new tires to fit the front of the car. It's not just offset and bolt hole placement. The tires may be too fat.
That is why I would try to put one of these rims with tires on your car front and rear to make sure they will not foul the suspension, back and front. I bought this car in Ontario and drove it from Hamilton to Winnipeg, every time I stopped for gas, the jockeys wanted to know if the rims were for sale and would they fit their Hondas! The rims look a bit too sporty, but does the car ever stick to the road!

there are little hub cap things that go on them, but there is this "thing" which i havent looked into yet which prevent them from sitting on there.
i'd put my stock bbs rims back on, but previous owners werent too kind to them...
