Does the size, offset and weight suit your needs? Then get the wheels.

They look ok for some cheapos . 4 for $550 is hard to beat even with all the weight, looks, material, and performance you get with good set of rims. I paid way more than 550 for just one Volk rim.... If you are not looking for much of those qualities, you should get them. make sure offsets work with a Z. Post pics when you get them.

As some have mentioned these are certainly not high-end wheels, but they are economical. I had a similarly priced set of Arospeed wheels on my previous car and they held up fine over 1.5 years of use. I even hit some nasty bumps and did not see any bending or cracking. If the look suits you and the wheels physically fit, then why not?

looks not bad for the price

just research about the offset.
some of those rims have like a 30-40 offset and it might look really funny on the car (as in, the rim will sit inside your wheel well just like your stock rims)

There is none.

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp
