Set of 3-piece 19" wheels (Installed and pics!)
I have the chance to get some pretty good deal on Harline WH-5 3-piece chrome wheels.
They're 8x18 ET10 & 11x19 ET20.
Does those rear wheels need rolled fenders to make them fit? I'm fine with shaving but I wouldn't want to roll.
Fronts should go just fine as it is, right?
I'm also going to put BC V1 coils on it and I want to get it as low as possible with minor changes (don't know if those two things should be in the same sentence ).
The seller is asking ~$1500 (1100€). I looked at the prices from Harline's webpage for new set and they're ~$3600.
Should I go for them or not? They seem to be in great condition.

Yea I'm just wondering if they really are genuine Harline's. The price is suspiciously cheap and those bolts that attach the face to the outer rim are different than what they are on that pic from Harline's webpage. He's also saying they are brand new and have never been on any car.
Here's a pic from the seller:
If they are legit I'll most definitely get them. Then I'll start to think about fitment etc.
Edit: Now that I look at the difference there's more bolts on those than there are in the other picture (the genuine ones).

They are. The question is what wheels they really are.
Those WH-5 wheels have 30 bolts and those other ones have 40 bolts. Also the spokes seem to be a bit thicker on those other ones.
If they really are 3-piece I would get them for that price but first I'd need to know what brand they are.
The seller hasn't contacted me yet.

the spokes look thicker on the sellers wheels compared to the original.. also you probably need to do a roll in the front and shave in the rear... Some type of modification will probably need to be done.. those are low offsets...

So I called the guy and they seem to be legit. They're just an older model of the WH-5's.
He's a rallycar driver (what do you expect, he's finnish ) and he has two projects on his hands (E30 M3 and E46 325) so he won't be using these anytime soon.
They were suppose to go on his 350Z back then.
I reserved these till next tuesday when I have the money.
Damn what a deal! Hopefully no one outbids me..
Edit: What would be the ideal tire size for lowering and clearance for those front wheels? I'm thinking of 245/35 for the rears.

The only difference to my upcoming setup is that chrispy has bags. I'm not sure what that SS kit means.

Finally got them. Here's some pics I took.
I also test fitted one of the rear wheels to see how much it will poke.
That of course is not what it will look when there's the weight of the car on it. Now it's just jacked up.
So hopefully a bit less poke when I get some tires on it and can drop it down to the ground.
There's some work to do..
