Default 06+ SC 430 wheels?

Make a long story short, I was driving home from work one day and saw an estate sale and what looked like a set of SC 430 wheels in the front yard. I work in Buckhead which is the most "upscale" part of Atlanta so I am not talking about some mom and pop garage sale, not that there is anything wrong with that either

I turned around to take a closer look, and sure enough, a set of nearly new SC 430 wheels was for sale. This gentlemen had just bought his wife a new SC and upgraded to a set of 20" BOSS rims and sold me all 4 for $200. I didn't really need them but the condition of the wheels and unbeatable price made for a pickup. On the way home it got me thinking...how would these look on my car? My car is black with chrome and grey accents. The emblems, wheels, and headlights are all grey while the trim, grille, and exhaust tips are chrome/high gloss silver. These wheels are the dark 5 spoke 18" wheels, not the pie plate ones.

How would these look on my car? Has it been done before? I have 20mm front and 25mm rear spacers...would these fit if I went with 40 or 45 series tires?

Any insight would be appreciated. These are the rims:

I needed a different set of wheels than stock for my daily driver and came across a set from an ES 300 that wouldn't require new tires, which was a requirement I had since I had replaced the tires not even 1K miles before that. All 4 for $65. Not chrome, but not a bad deal at all. Had the tires put on the wheels and rebalanced for $60, and sold the stockers for $200. Woohoo!

And I agree with the consensus - get them on the car or PS them. I think they'll look good.

I almost bought these when I was wheel shopping. I found a set back then fro about $300.00. Not sure why they go for so much cheaper then the other stock wheels.
