Default Veloche Wheel Question

I am looking at some 17" Veloche Verzio 540 rims for my 2k GS3. I don't know much about the offset, etc. I asked them to show me what they have to fit a RWD GS3 and this was one of the choices. Does anyone have any thoughts on these rims? I would love to see them on a GS3 if anyone has a picture.

I didn't know what the wheels looked like so I Googled them and they look to be 1pc chrome wheels. I'd pass on them, typically 1pc cast chrome wheels tend to be much heavier than oem and some of the other options availble out there.

Check this thread, see if there's a particular style of wheel you like

What would be the effect of a 1 piece heavier wheel?

Heavier wheels make your car slower, worse gas mileage, worse braking, worse acceleration, more overall abuse on all suspension components, etc
