1500 is a darn good deal. i saw gt-7's on an sc400 at Formula D. they look pretty good. Should fit pretty well, maybe 5mm spacers in the rear, but put them on and see.

1500 for GT 7s is a good deal to me. I think they should look good with a small spacer

Not as long as the studs are long enough. My friend with a RX-7 had to get spacers for his car and his studs weren't long enough so he just bought longer studs. Its an easy fix.

ur back won't look more sunken bc they are a wider wheel...

offset means nothing w/o the width of the wheel on there as well
i'd still go with a lower offset wheel though, even if you have to settle for less quality then volk

but thats just me, i dont understand why you would pay a lot to get the stock sunken look to stay there...

aggresive aggressive aggresive :-)

Its a good deal because of the undesireable offset.

Even better deal... might try selling them to a guy with a IS300, and see if you can make a bill or two...

SUNKEN BATTLESHIP OMG!!!! to make it fit nice you'll need like a 40mm spacer for the rear and a 25mm spacer for the front

I know how much you like these wheels, but I'd pass on them if I were you based on the offset. Like someone else said, what's the point of getting Volks if you have to use all kinds of spacers to make them look correct on your car? I'm not a big fan of using spacers and longer studs to make wheels work. I'd pass on them dude. Just my honest opinion. Good luck to you.
