Not really my cup of tea but I will tell you and anyone else on this forum. If you are happy with them.. go for it.

Seems like you are uncertain tho.. lol.

I think they will look better once you really bolt them on. They look like they are just sitting in front and not actually installed so that makes it look really wide. Post pic after you install. You will get better comments

Wouldn't be my choice, but it's your call and they are certainly much better than stock.

Best regards

^^^^ I agree with Steve. I like them better than stock. Bolt them on for a better look. Then you will need to lower it.

Look at post #2 here, It's kind'a close to what you're thinking.

....I'm with the rest of the guys, bolt them up, clean them & see what you look like then. The price is definitely a plus. I just had a similar experience...lol...I purchased a set of 18 staggered wheels off ebay. I really like the wheel, but probably wouldn't have been my first choice. But for the price ($300), I couldn't resist them

Once they are on, I think they look good. Way better than stock. Might look even better on a darker color sc, but tiniting your windows will help the look too. For 200 bucks (if they're not cheaply made) i say very good upgrade!
