Well once again, they came in 45mm offsets and 37mm...you'll want the 37mm variants....
...they're a 15x6" wheel. Don't know the weight, they're kinda boring looking. I'd imagine $150-$200 for a set in good shape...

Thanks, confirmed 37mm already. They are boring, but so is the price and the amount of cash I have
to spend on wheels. A good set of these would look a helluva lot better than the garbage that is on my car now.

If you look closely at the pic in my sig the lip on all 4 wheels is
beyond screwed up. The clearcoat flaked off long ago and whats left is an ugly mess. I guess I could sand and polish them, but that is alot of work.
I'll run the ugly wheels before I get thinner ones, so I'm going to pass on the ones in this post. I should just save some more money up and get some decent aftermarket wheels.
