Default to buy or not to buy... Iforged wheels....

hey everyone, well i recently purchased a set of iS300 wheels. planning on putting those on this weekend. but i came across another deal im wondering if i should take. well, i know this woman who is getting divorced with her husband and she has a set of 20x10 IForged wheels. the set comes with toyo tires as well. only thing is one of the rims got curbed bent. i dont know how bad yet but i plan to find out soon when she gets back from out of town. the part thats nice about the deal is she was offering them for 900.00. but i then told her i only had 500.00 at the moment so she said she might be able to take that because shell be leaving for deployment soon. now the question is, should i jump on this deal? i was figuring that if the lip damage wasn't that big i can send it to San Antonio to get repaired. its a 3 pice wheel so id still have the option of buying a new lip if needed.... so what do you guys think?

here is a pick on the wheel..

I'll buy it, but 20 might be too big for the SC

Thats a good deal! 20's are a bit much, but can be pulled off on an SC. There a few cars that come to mind immediately on here, but I can't remember usernames to find them, so here's two from Vossen's site on 20s

oh wow that white sc looks great! well i am seriously thinking about getting them. but the only thing i found was that these wheels use to belong to a pontiac G8. the wheel pattern is a five lug but different setting. more like the BMW,s and such. ive looked online and ive found conversion set so i can adapt the wheel. these wheels alone go for over 3k. another thought was going the whole 9 yards and going wide body.

20x10 all around? You have to make sure the wheels fit first then consider buying them...20s look ok if you are lowered enough...If it is 20x10 all around those will probably not fit...

if im not mistaken i think the fronts are 9.5. im going to go take a look soon to get the full specs and offsets. the bolt pattern is a "BMW" 5 lug pattern. but i already found adapters to fit the sc.

You should go for it. They look like nice wheels.
