Wheel advice

Has anybody had any experience with these wheels. I found a nice set of Sparco 17x7 42mm offset I was thinking of getting for my laser blue R52. They are matte bronze so I'm not sure how they would look. Any advice or opinions welcome.

I think those weigh in at around 20lbs each.

No experience here from me, but Sparco is a trusted brand and I think those wheels were made by O.Z. if I'm not mistaken, so they are quality.

Found a pic of a black R53 with some bronze Drifts fitted:

Yes they definitely aren't light but a little lighter than the stock R98s.

Yes I did and I didnt look at them close enough and 1 is cracked and another has a bad fix on it so I'm not sure if it's worth having them redone.

These are Breytons. Not sure if this color helps..There is a shop in Spokane that does excellent powdercoating for under $400 if you wanted them redone.

That design reminds me of the "Team Dynamics" brand...
