Those are not bad, they will not get you "baller" status but they will look good on a vr if you are lowered enough.

I dislike with a passion any wheel that tries to fake a lip by implementing convex spokes

EDIT ~ 225's will fit, they'll look a tad stretched, but they'll fit

+1 this is how quality suffers in no name wheels... buyer beware

Check for ANY bends, cracks, major scratching, etc

If it were me I'd wait for another set of wheels. These are just very conservative heavy wheels. Yess 225's will fit and yes 265's will fit as well.

my car is stock, but i want 20 inch rims. would 20X8.5 be a good measurement. also going with 245/30/20 NITTO tires ( all season ). Any suggestions ? Though I love wide tires I dont want tires scraping with the body.

If by "great" you mean they're in good condition, I agree...

If by "great" you mean aesthetically pleasing... no comment
