I've done a search on this and three threads came up, none of them giving a solid opinion. Are these good, bad, average, knock-offs, etc.? I don't make that much and found a great deal on a set of these, so I thought I'd seek opinions here first.

How much do these cost?

not sure how much they run retail. I'll probably end up getting them for about $400. also, offset is 35, which I'm pretty sure will work on the 202 unless someone knows otherwise.

35 offset is pretty good to run 17x8.5 all around with 225s. its plug and play for the most part, but c55m80 had a sweet link recently that allowed you to calculate proper offsets to match them to the slip and grip angle etc of your stock setup for the best performance match.

I seem to remember when looking for my rims that 18X9 up
front will have some rubbing issues.

18x9 up front would probably cause rubbing issues unless you heavily mod your fenders.

Wheels look alright, would look better without writing on the face.

i agree about the writing, but I take what I can get. so 9" width definitely will not work? I thought i'd seen someone on here with 18x9 or 19x9's. could've been 19x8. i don't know. I just want to make sure before I let this guy know.
