Unique 83 wheels. Anyone have experience with?

These are the wheels in question:

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...w=6&vid=009135

I did a bunch of research and I THINK they will fit on my r53, I'll be wrapping them with a 195/60R/15 tire.

their bore is 72mm but i can get hubcentric rings for that (right?)

their offset is 41mm.. will that cause any issues? (stock wheel is 38mm offset IIRC?)


Anyone?
Thanks

Those wheels will fit in that offset and will work with that tire size.

Tirerack.com also has-
15x6.5" black steel wheels in stock with black or silver painted wheel covers from $31- 34 per set of 4 but is out of stock with 15x6" black steel wheels at $58 each.

Which tire are you going to get?

well, nevermind haha

i found a great deal on a set of brand new OEM 15in cooper wheels with good condition tires on em, picked up the set for 400 total and am already enjoying the noticeably smoother ride around the city.

thanks anyway!
