Did i do good?

Ok, i need your guy's opinion here. i found these on craigslist:
titleCase('02886-4238')http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/pts/719427318.html
And i made a tentative deal to go pick them up tomorrow...is this a good deal for what look like the Falken circuits? plan on using the rubber sor the rest of this summer and get some new rubber for next summer so im not too concerned with wear. anybody know if i will need spacers with these for an 08 MC? and also what size hubcentric rings i would need? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

There's no way to know if you're gonna need spacers etc cause the seller never stated the width, the offset, or the tire size... My guess is that they're 17x7 et40 so you won't need spacers.

Also....the Falken Circuits never came in an all black matte finish (to my knowledge) so my guess is that they've been spray painted....so ask about the finish.

Yah they're alright

I think you're right about them being the circuits....I'd just ask what the finish was.

Alright even if they are finished poorly...i wouldnt mind re-finishing them to white . AH one more question i forgot to ask. with the TPMS and these tires not having them...other than the pressure lights coming on, is there anything else in the computer that will get f'ed up?
