What do you think of these wheels?

i like them but arent 100% my style. they are very affordable and come 99% how i need them. (offsets, color and sizes and all that)

just thought id ask for your opinions.

they are 18's. they do look a little more like they will fit a domestic car but i think they will like nice on the FD.

plus i like the big lip in the rear and they are new rims. ive been having a hard time finding nice wheels within my budget (dont ask ) these fit about everything im looking for...except im looking for some that look like BBS or ADR 505 style wheels. i found some but nobody wants to ship to FPO address. these wheels are local so i can get them right away.

here is another pic of all the wheels

Not my taste, but if you like them that is what counts.

well here are a couple other choices. i really want a deep dish but i guess i cant be too picky when im on budget. some of these are new and some are used. i kind like the last ones and all these sets are staggered.

Definitely the gold ones, but are you going to stagger them? That'll look sick, just a suggestion though.

I'm sure that has to do with the budget thing.

To repeat the important question, how much do they weigh?

yeah, im on a budget and nice wheels here are very expensive. its cool though, i went ahead and bought a set already.

they look nice on the car but i am planning on putting some spacers on the front because they didnt fill in as i was hoping. It is weird because the offset on the front is 35...which i was thinking might be cutting it close but we did a quick measurement (well the guy at the wheel shop) and he said 20mm spacers will work just fine. That would make the wheels +15 offset. thats crazy!!...but the fenders do have a bit of room. oh well, ill post pics soon. (its been raining and cloudy not good picture taking days )
