Picked up Racing Hart wheels.Opinions??

Alright so a buddy had these for sale for a good price.i decided why not and picked them up for $250. From what i was told they are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with +25 offset.Maybe its the 305 tires that make it look bigger than 9.5 but im going to get a exact measurement of width and offset later today. What do you guys think of these?i know they are a more classic rim.im alittle worried about fitment but ive been wanting a agressive fat tire look. Couldnt lower the car without the right lugs.

Wheels themselves aren't a bad look, that multi bolt pattern setup would probably bug me though. Rockin 305s is alluring

Rear wheel in the second pic looks bent at the 6 o'clock position...or may just be the photo?
Either way, those 305s don't belong on the 9.5 so I'll trade you my 285s for those which will give you a better fitment

Yeah the extra holes bugged me too but 250 was hard to turn down and Venom thats the one wheel with a bend.its pretty minor imo.just got quoted $70 to fix it.I would totally trade you but theres not too much life left on the 305s due to being on a procharged v8 lexus unless your lookin for slicks haha

Nice deal! I'm also not a huge fan of the bolt pattern but for the price I probably would have gotten them too.

It almost looks like you could fab up a center piece to cover the bolts but that might look funky.

You could also have them powder-coated. They'd look brand new!

I do have center caps.only two though sadly.the goal is to fix the small bend, clean them up, powdercoat the whole rim a nice polished silver or go back to black which im kinda leaning away from.then put on a nice meaty tire (probly not 305s) with white lettering.

Grabbed these pics off the google. This is what the center caps look like. Ill just have to grab two more.

I plan on getting them repaired tomorrow and powder coated within the next couple weeks. Need to find a good local shop who does powder coating. I'll post pics of the outcome for sure.

To be completely honest these wheels in my opinion don't look good of the G37 they look great on the G35 but to me the 37 is a little to curvy for these wheels
