Offset is about 15-25mm(depending on tire size) away from what I would run. Nice wheels, but weak offset. Look for something around a 9 with +15. You can run that all around. S13 I'm assuming?

Cause they're cheap. LOL! RB motoring sucks the majority of the time. Most of their wheels are 35mm+ offsets.

Personally, I like the Volks. If it comes down to a tie-breaker, why not just pick the lightest of the two sets of wheels?
