Will these wheels fit?

I'm thinking about putting these wheels on my car:



They are Eagle 203's. I want to get them in 17". I can get them right now for $450/set. Is this a good deal for these? What backspacing, offset, etc. do I need to get? Here's the chart:

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Mike

A guy at work has these wheels, and the only thing I don't like about them is (let's see if I can explain this good enough), one side swoops backward, and one side swoops forward. Get it? Other than that, they're awsome.

redbird-I can't call them because they're not open today and tomorrow is the last day i can get them at that price.

wes-Yeah I can see what you mean by looking at them. On the pass. side the points are facing right, and on the driv. side the points face to the left.

It looks like they will fit you just need the right model of those 203s.

Sounds like the guy with those wheels needs to rotate 2 of them side to side. I see LOTS of people with directional wheels that aren't mounted on their cars correctly. You would think if someone spends money to put on aftermarket wheels to improve the looks of their ride that they would notice ????
The people at Tire Shops should notice when they mount 'em and rotate them.
As for the Eagle 203's sounds like a sweet deal, grab 'em
I bought a set of them 18 months ago to put on my 89 IROC and never got around to putting them on. Still in boxes in attic! price was the same. They are really nice looking wheels
