Default Ebay Wheels - opinions needed

Found these wheels for sale... it says they're 20x8.5+20/20x10+25... Does anyone know if these offsets will fit? I already have my rear fenders shaved completely smooth... But I'm not sure about the fronts... Also feel free to leave comments on the wheels themselves... My GS is silver and I'm planning on doing carbon fiber hood/trunk and black roof and I already have the rear bumper insert painted black, so that's why I chose these wheels...

Here's the link:

Well, it's official: the second-gen GS is officially the replacement for the used /tuner Honda Civic.

Well you can scratch the question about the offsets... I just found my answer to that... But what about the wheels? I really like the thread with the tork wheels but they just don't offer those wheels in black and chrome, so this is the closest thing that I could find...

Really mature.

OP, for a little more than that price you can find a used set of real multipiece wheels.Have you looked around in the classifieds?

I'm not sure the name calling was necessary.

If you ever plan on stretching tires on ride, wouldntgo with cheap wheels. Or even if you live in area iwth crapy roads, i wouldnt go with cheap wheels. Your gonna bend them instantly..

For that money you might be better off looking at the Zenetti 5's onsite in the Vendor forum for $699. They're being sold by a company most of us know, have a great look, but have conservative off-sets.

GL with your wheel choice.

Don't mind the haters who think wheels costing 5K are the only option for a Lexus. Then those same people turn around and put tires on the car costing $400. They have no credibility.

I like the Tork/R1 wheels. You can get them in chrome new for around 1K then paint them black. That way you'll have the chrome lip.

^^^ not hating just stating our own opinion, as stated in the title "opinions needed".

OP its your money, your car, do whatever pleases you. Those specs will fit fine with a fender shave.
