Default Advan RGs, are they worth it?

I live where aftermarket wheels are almost non-existent , luckily I found a shop that sells a set of Advan RGs, 17x7.5 all around. Others are mostly replicas. I might not order aftermarket wheels from these local vendors as they markup too high for their price.

So, is it worth to take the ONLY Advan RGs available for my Sebring? Is it too bad for 7.5 inch all around? I might use 245 or 235 for the rears. Comments are welcome. Thanks

My vote would be to get the right fitment or don't get anything at all. 7.5 all around is less than ideal.

Aren't the advan rg's cast? I've heard that over on honda-tech. If thats the case, don't you guys think the rg's are a little expensive for a cast rim?

thanks for the inputs guys. as i said it is very difficult to find aftermarket wheels here. The Advans 7.5 all around are offered 1700 US dollar here which I thought might be a good deal.

I'm not sure about ordering internationally as getting those wheels will be imposed a custom fee of 25 percent of the price. So the price will be higher than my expected budget.

You will need the 17x8.5 offset +50 for the rears.

IMO, I like them a lot and they are one of the lightest and strongest cast wheels.

Very nice wheels.

Like AJ PwR said, however, the rear size and offset you're looking at will not work very well.
