I sent a message asking for more details, need a picture of the specs from the back of the wheel for starters. I guess I'm gaining some confidence that I know the right questions to ask, will give it some time to see if something used works out.

One thing I noticed when looking through Marketplace ... there are some really strange looking wheels out there! To each his own, not for me to tell someone else what looks good or bad, but wow.

I bought a set of Enkei TS10's, 18x8.5 +35 in gray, new in boxes. Now have to pick some tires.

Here are the new wheels with Continental Extremecontact DWS 06 Plus tires in 245/40-18. I'm very happy with how this turned out. Need to clean up my ugly rotors and calipers.
