Not bad looking. They remind me of the '80s when BBS mesh rims were the hot ticket. Not sure about the offset but they seem a little wide at 8.5 inches. You research whether they would fit without rubbing?

Just curious, what does Go n-aora neach neamhshaolta do dhea-chlú, mean? Sounds Gallic.

 It is indeed a Gailic curse. I will have to dig through my notes and find out again. I got it from a really cool site I found that allows you to create custom curses in Gaelic.

Ahh, here we go... "May an alien being satirize your good reputation."
You asked for it and you got it! I didn't want to go with something too offensive

There are the BBS rims that were offered by Subaru as standard equipment on the JDM S4 SVX. They are still available but I don't know the price.
(Maybe it comes with a tiny, baby bottle cleaning brush with an Alcyone logo on it)
