tirerack.comtires.com2daywheels. I think. They are out of LA.Considering the size of the wheels, I am going to go on a limb and gues they are very high offset, maybe ET 42 or so.For tires, think 215/45 R17.Congratulations on the first post, condolenses on a probably crappy trade, and WELCOME to the most bestest community online.

From a cost standpoint, yes that was a good trade.From a fitment standpoint, depending on offset, and whether you are pleased or not, only you can say.Generally though, higher offset wheels do nothing for the overall look of the car. But again, as long as you are pleased, all's good.
