also just an fyi... so ur cars drivability doesnt change... take it to a rim place and have them make/order u some hub centric rings.. i really doubt they are the same bore size as the sc. good luck those rims are beautiful.

edit: u should also try them on before u order a rim to realize they dnt fit.. just sayin

What do you guys think?
Id like to get some opinions if posible.
Thanks.
The manufacture of the rim, is on the inside portion of the wheel.

That far right wheels looks like it has been bent or curbed really bad. May want to check that one out as well. Overall I like them though, especially the deep dish rears.

Yea the 4rth wheel was literaly destroyed in half. I doubt it would of been a possible fix. The car rolled a couple times into a gated fence. Completly destroyed. But the wheels turned ok for the most part.

Yea the wheels do have some bad curve rash cus of the wreck but its mainly 1 that got it the worst. The other 2 are in way better shape.

I will mount them before i purchade the 4rth. Hopefuly they fit with no problem. They are 5x114.3.

Eventually il get them fixed from the curve rashes and any other blemishes if possible. Gona make these babies look like new if possible
