What do you guys think of these wheels?

I like them, and the store is having them on sale for $130 a piece.

So what I need to know, before I go and purchase them, is that a decent price? Does anyone have pictures of them on a 3rd gen? They are the Pacer 167C Supreme wheel, chrome.

Also, I was thinking of getting the reverse offsets in the back. Will this cause any problems such as driveability? They are going to be size 15x7.

Yeah, they do look like torque's. 15" is the biggest size they make, and that is pretty much the only wheel in my budget.

Maybe someone could photoshop them for you. I would post a picture of your car and a picture of the rims, and make a new post asking somone to photoshop it for you. Most people are happy to do it.

Ok, maybe I'll do that then. As for the other question, what are the pro's con's of having reversed offset rear wheels?

I like the TT2, but they are way out of the price range.

Personally, I think Cragars look horrible, and TT2s in anything smaller than 17" looks horrible too.

The only 15" wheels that I think look decent are the drag racing style wheels. Anything else just looks low budget.

Cragar SSs are a timeless classic but offset wheels are hard on wheel bearings and axle bearings, just to let you know.
