Hey guys, these rims and tires are only 200$ and look good to me. They have curb rash but so do my stock GT rims. The tires are supposedly in great condition. I am going to check them out tomorrow but wanted your opinion. Look good?
Also do I have to worry about the offset? anyone know the offset of these rims? they are the ALT Sevens

Yeah you have to worry about offset...those look like they have a high offset.

those wheels are pretty common where i live, and yes offset does matter to a certain degree. Upon some research they weigh 23 pounds each(which is on the heavy side IMO for 17x7) and will definitely be pretty tuck in.

I know that mismatched tires can damage center differential on AWD, but I've never heard anything about FWD. ABS might not work properly with different tires, so there is a safety concern. But you can drive with different tires if you want to, it's just not the best idea.

yeah after realizing that i am not that interested. I did find TC rims with tires for 325. Isn't there a problem with the offset tho?

Looks good for me. But I won't use it as primary wheel, I might use it for experimenting wheel color. Repaint it gold, matte black, etc and find the best color that match my car :D

Yeah, you will need spacers for Scion tC wheels.
