Default Need opinion on this 18" wheels

I've looked around for some used decent wheels to put on my Soarer and found this:


They look clean and the offset seems decent. Anyone with similar wheels on their SC's? Would like to see some pics, if possible.

I know there are pleny more wheels out there, but so far this is the only thing I've found that looks decent and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I've found some other brand name wheels (works, SSR, etc...), but they are all beat up with lots of rash and paint peeling off, and I'm not looking to buy new, not for my car, not now at least. Let me know or

to be honest they are not my cup of tea at all

but if your on a budget and want something better than stocks they will be nice im sure.

Do you mind if i ask how much they are going for?

Thanks

I think they look great for 600 bucks, and they already have tires. Its a steal. Much better than stock anyway.

there's no shipping involved, the place is only 5 minutes from my house.

Thanks for all the comments, I think they look decent for the money and definitely much better than stock wheels. I may give it another day or two to see if I find something better.

That's a great price for wheels and tires. I've seen similar rims in 20's on an SC and they looked great.
