Good design but I'm not sure about blue wheels. Even a darker shade like that I'm not sure about. There's a riced out MR2 around my way with blue Rotas and it is puke-tacular.

a little too wide for stock fenders! Unless you are looking for some massive stretch

uuhhhh what? 7.5 is too wide for our fenders?

That width and offset is right about perfect for our cars....even with the 205's that are shown which would hardly be a stretch on a 7.5

Hides this post from the 6 sets of 7x7.5 wheels in the garage, wouldn't want those wheels to get any ideas they don't fit any longer.

Here's a pic of 17x7.5 et37 fitting fine on stock arches/fenders with an extreme drop. 205/40 just like the ad. Yah....the blue BBS's would stick out 2mm more....but there is obviously room for 2mm

Yah they're asking way too much for a set of wheels that needs to be re-finished since the previous owner sprayed it that weird color and there's some curb rash. That probably explains why they've been listed for sale for so long
