u do realize that first link is 5x120 and they are like 5 sizes wider and a size too tall?

and the second set is a staggered fitment and its 5x114.3? just making sure u saw that lol

first ones are a good price but not very offset friendly since you will need adapters.
you gotta get low first especially if you're gonna try to pull off rs's..

any meshy rs type wheel will probably need slammage to look good. bmw wheels are usually nice and priced right but the offsets are hard to work with.. I wish someone would buy my wheels.. I want some staggered wheels with a lip badly. so many 5x114.3 wheels are coming and going on ebay that I want but am trying to force myself to wait until my benz wheels sell

I run 9's all around with 215's. I've actually ran 10.5 with 215's too.

I'd probably pay $300 for your set depending on condition. You might get more if you're willing to wait.
