Anything wrong with these spacer's?

-I'm planning on getting some 280zx turbo rims. I'm gonna need some spacers, and these don't look too bad... I'm wondering if anyone has bought these spacers. good? bad?

Seller looks shady to me. Just read the description.

Just make sure they actually are for a car.

The offset on the turbo rims is +12. I want to get spacers just to play around with and 25mm should put me at about -13. Plus i could rock my 002's with -25; weak off set is weak, remember? lol.

6" wheels with -13 offset is weak. Skinny wheels sticking out looks silly.

Those dont look too bad, but before you buy those check out a company called ezaccessory.com. I think you might even be able to find them on ebay. I got a pair 1'' (25.4mm) bolt on hubcentric spacers from them for 80 dollars. Very nicely made, have had them over a year with ZERO problems and i do a couple of hard touge runs a month. They are only a couple more bucks then the ones you are looking at and i know the ezaccessory.com ones are very good. check them out.

true but it still looks better than skinny battleships..and its always better to have a wider wheelbase..

eh i would have to disagree Brian, it's not battleship at all on an s13 with propper tires, it's actually very flush with the fenders. the wheels look great on an s13 without spacers, and you still want some tire inside the fender at the bottom of the body. it will just look really bad unless the car is super duper dumped. like hydraulics
