they're not bad looking, offsets probably arent favorable, prepare for flaming for not even going with a popular off-brand wheel though. your money buy what you want

LOL. Not everyone has a $4,000 budget for wheels. If the specs and price suits your needs, go for it.

Check out the wheels for sale section and try to get a quality set of used wheels with
good offsets.

Look in the Wheels section. They're only 18's so you can find them pretty cheap. Be patient. I waited until I saw exactly what I wanted and picked up a set of used 19x8 19x10 forged DPE's for $1950 shipped with tires. Good quality and fitment is worth saving a little longer. Cheap wheels look cheap.

I would rather buy used good wheels than crappy new ones. I'd say try to find someone selling their old things.

If you buy new I would avoid Wheelmax. I think I recall somebody posting a horror story about them. You might look at TSW wheels. Inexpensive, good looking and have lots of staggered sizes.

My mistake, Forged is selling the NT03s for $880. Get these, a really great deal.

New wheels are great but before throwing out your stock wheels, see if the new ones look better. In my opinion those wheels don't. With that money or a very little more, you can find something better.
