Default Honest Opinion Wanted

Really guys no bull****. I want peoples opinions on a set of wheels I was looking at for some odd reason. These would be going on my SC300.

They are the Tenzo R Type-M Ver. 2
F: 19x8.5 +17
R: 19x10 +22

The package is 2K with Falken fk-452. Honestly do you think they are whack? I kinda do but want some more opinions.

2000? sounds kinda high for just getting an entry level tire and a cast alloy wheel...

Offsets look proper for the SC, what color is your sc and what color do you want the rims in? The $2k seems a bit steep, although they'll be wrapped in quality-priced tires, still a tad too high.

does the 2k include shipping? Tenzo is known for making affordable (but good) wheels, if that price is shipped then it might not be so bad. but overall, they shouldn't run you $2k even w/the falkens =/

I think you'd be better off finding a nice clean set of used Volks or Works for that price. Check out the G35 and 350Z forums. They have nice (aggressive) offsets for our cars.
