Ok Ive been looking at many wheels came across these today in black and same chrome lips. 3pc wheels. found this pic on CL:

those folks with nice wheels and good experience with wheels. What you think about them? market value I should pay for a used set? few minor scratches on two wheels. wheels are 19s staggered with about 80% tires.

wheels look great, but aside from price, wheel offsets and tire sizes will dictate what whether you should or shouldn't.

SSR Professor MS1, nice~ find out the wheel size/offset and if the front rim is what SSR calls HyperDisk (high/typeR disk face), you need hyperdisk to clear the 350 front brake AND... should you go with an aftermarket BBK in the future your front rim will be fine, clearance for the caliper. For the rear it can be Normal disk (ssr term), not sure about SuperLow, but my AME rears are called Low disk but low (ame term) vs super low (ssr term)? not too sure.

*i just wish all rim companies used the same terminology, hyper/high/typeR... shezz

im not a fan of chrome rims, on a show car? yea its an option but on a street car? pass.

They're on a g35 with 225/35/19 and 255/35/19 rear now, they clear his aftermarket bbk, and I think the offset is around 18s I can't remember exactly what it was but around there for sure.

soo I got the specs on the wheels and tires(2 rims have very minor scraches, tires ~80%):
F: 19x9.5 with 225/35/19 tires, offset: 19 or 18
R: 19x10.5 with 355/35/19 tires, offset: 25
will they fit my 350the rear fenders are rolled, front still oem.
and what would be a decent price for these MS1s

FYI, the first pic is Super Black Chrome (SBC), and it looks TONS better than the regular chrome.

Nice wheel, but I'm not a fan of stepped lips, prefer a simpler lip.

Some how that pic looks good but in reality the chrome ones don't look that good! The SBC ones r much nicer but I'm looking at the black.
These are 3-peice wheels soo the lips can be replaced

those offsets are similar enough that it comes down to your own personal preference. you'll get different opinions from different people.

btw, unless you're riding at stock height, you're going to need to modify your fenders and "stretch" narrower tires on those wheels to make them fit w/ minimal clearance issues.
