there are a few other small blemishes on this wheel, similar to what is shown. You cannot see them unless wheels are looked at up close.

7.5" all the way around? sorry, even if you do have different tires this is just a really really really bad idea.

with a balanced car from the factory with 6.5" in the front and 7.5" in the rear, the staggard setup is there for a purpose, not just for looks. by increasing the front and not the rear, you are dialing in serious oversteer characteristics. even if you throw on a front bar.. that will not be enough and the rear will twitch.

you might think it handles fine for daily driving, spirited driving is where I would worry - that includes any point where you get on the gas. and on the track, I would stay far back unless it was setup that way for an intended purpose. even the guys with non-OEM S02 tires at the track running 225/50's worry me.

1300 is a good deal, and its great that the offsets are correct, but unfortunately these are not the correct setup for this car. and I'm sorry if you lose a sale due to my comments.
