Default New wheels (chromed is350 wheels)

I picked these up last week and should be getting tires on them this coming week. They are from a 07-08 is350. From what I know the original owner had them chromed then decided to get some after market wheels. They are 18x8 in the front and 18x8.5 in the back. What do you all think? Sorry for the crappy pics

They should be 18x8 +45 front & 18x8.5 +50 rear. Should look "stock".

So by "stock" you mean sunken battleship?

... kinda.

To me they'd fit about what stock should have looked like and yes that's sunken. True stock SC wheels, are battleship sunken.

To sum up
no spacers - sunken
10 to 15mm spacers - decent to okay for the stock fender crowd
25mm spacers - slight stretch or some mild fender work
35 to 45mm spacers - get the hammer and the camber

Sorry for the ramble, nice looking wheels for "stock-ish" look
