IF the pictured rims are the EXACT rims you will be purchasing, (lip-size etc...) Then I think they will look pretty sweet. They've certainly got a Euro feel to them, but IMO it would be nice on the 8...

those stockers in gold look terrible. and i guess you don't believe in ever washing your wheels. looks like that brake dust has collected for quite some time.
as for the new wheels you're looking at, i'd have to see them on an 8 and a picture pulled out. too hard to say from just that.

If you're not tracking it, it really won't be an issue... My rims are staggered and I don't have any problems in my day-to-day driving because of it...
The rear-end is still very easily kicked out if you want it to lol. (But in your case, perhaps not in your best interest
)
