Default Wheel help, pics included.

Hey guys, first let me start off by apologizing for my "noob-ness."

So I purchased a set of used wheels that were in awesome condition because I was told the fitment would not require me to alter the fenders at all. In the end, I have to do something to them to make them fit. I believe the offset may not fit our cars the way I was hoping for it to fit. How can I measure it? And is it possible for me to take apart my wheels and send them back to ISS Forged for them to change the offset for a guaranteed fit?
Rear Tire size: 275/30/20
Also, I'm getting tired of the black wheel/chrome lip look. I was thinking about getting them re-done. Any suggestions? Or should I just craigslist them?!

Any info or help is greatly appreciated!

If you need something done to the fenders, it is pretty cheap (or even free) if you know anyone with a fender roller. I just had mine done a few weeks ago. The tires that were replaced were a little wider than previous and I was getting rubbing burning smell. I paid a local shop $100 to roll fenders. Since then, even huge bumps with people in back no more rubbing issues. Just make sure they use a heat gun to warm up fenders before rolling as to avoid paint issues. If you are tired of the look of the wheels, you can either sell them and try for something different OR get them powder coated in any color you want. I used to have silver wheels with chrome lip, the chrome was coming off, so did the whole wheel in flat black. It was $68 per wheel locally. Still looks brand new and was done in 2008.

I agree, Im tired of black wheels with a chrome lip too. I say get them powdercoated all black or some sort of gun metal/grey.

I love the wheels that come stock. I wouldn't pay to change mine... Good luck with your new set.
