    And I forgot to ask.... what are the sizes and offset?

    The use of spacers in racing is not to just get wheels to fit correctly though. They actually test and tune with and without spacers to get the balance of the cornering perfected. Where as in my example, spacers (and in this case adapters) are used by the general public because of their own damn lazyness.

    Depends on their condition and whether or not they come with tires. I'll send you a PM about 'em.

    They may be hot, but they can be had for cheap.
