Not bad. But I would look at other options.

What kind of look are you trying to get into?

I think you should get some with lower offset like +25mm if your getting 19x8.5mm

Nice design, I think they would look good on the car. I have the same color combo as you (Black/Saddle). I would advise you to go with lower offset wheels so you don't end up getting spacers down the road. If you're also getting tires, go with staggered wheels setup.

I dont have those wheels on my signature, but I have staggered setup 18x8.5 with 20 offset for the front, and they look good without spacers. Front tires I use 245/40, no rubbing. You can use the same setup for the rears too, but they would not look as aggressive as the front.

I agree with gotta. Not for me but if they are for you go for it. You're the one driving it, not us! Besides that I didn't like my wheels either at first but since they've grown on me and I like them plus people come up to me and ask where did you get those beasts!!!! Bottom line: go with your gut feeling! GL

I think a rim with flat spokes like that would look better on something with sort of a "flatter design," like a Nissan Cube or Kia Soul. The Sc is sort of more rounded and needs a rim with more "curves." Just my 2 cents.
