Looks good. In regards to offset it depends on what you are looking for

Too high offset = sunk, etc.
Too low offset = poke and rubbing, devil camber, etc.
[CORRECTED]

Otherwise there's really no Magic number. Wheel offset is a science it comes down to how much your lowered and how wide the rims are, whether you wanna roll your fenders, etc. etc.

From my personal experience,
19x9.5 +20ish front and 19x10.5 +15 is around optimal offset to be flush

Again it varies with how low you are, how much camber you are going to run, whether you running rcas etc.

WRONG.

lower the offset the more poke you get, higher the offset the more the wheel will sink inside the fenders.

There's nothing on the backside of the rim? What does it say on the center cap?
Nice looking rims!

who cares what brand they are, for $350 you cant go wrong......as long as the fitment is right. If he doesnt know the offsets and he is local, just go test fit one side on the car and call it a day
