They look good just make sure you have the correct off set.

offsets will affect how far the rim will sit out width wise....like if it will be out by the body or moved in like stock...they make spacers to help this if your offsets suck....also make sure they will clear your brakes...especially if u have a track model...

I don't see offset or weight mentioned in the advertisement.

Please don't. If you're spending that much on them, go with something different. Before I did my NISMO wheels, I was going to go with TSW, and those would've run me 1800 with Nitto NT555 tires. Go with something like those. If you want, I can even get them for you, I'm a distributor.

Sumitomo is a relatively large tire manufacturer. They were started by Dunlop or were in partnership with in 1909. I had a set a few years ago and they were great tires. Falken Tire Corporation is a part of the Sumitomo Rubber Group. You've probably driven on tires created by Sumitomo and didn't even know it.

Junk. Don't buy anything from ebay that's not a name brand, they're all cast, replica, and H-E-A-V-Y!
