They should work just fine. Rota's standard size is 16 X 7 +40 offset. I'm running that exact same size wheel right now on my car but its a Rota Circuit 8.

Only get them if you really like them. Don't get them just because its cheaper than buying from a store or online. Its a pretty good deal, so if you were already looking at them the go for it.

Spending a little more to get what something that gives you no regrets for buying > buying something on a whim and then not liking it afterward.

haha yea i actually got lucky on those rims. craigslist actually came thru with it instead of dealing with flakers and other bs. there was another guy selling some flat black ones for 350 used so i think its possible to find them for 300+ :mredface:

and to the ts if your gona buy them off your friend might as well just get a new set.
