they look real good, if you cant afford real ones at the moment dont sweat it. dont buy expensive wheels and eat ramen noodles 3x a day. with proper size, these wheels make a lot of cars look even better.

You'll want to run 20mm spacers on all 4.

They look like Varrstoens. Unless you're stuck on 20's id get those. They come aggressive already, so you won't have to run spacers.

Those look good! I would run the 10.5 all around with the +30 up front and lower offset in the rear.

To give it a more aggressive fitment or make it flush with the fenders.
