ADVICE: Should I pick these ORGINAL RIMS for my Gen 3 Camry

So Im thinking of picking these up for my camry should I get them. THESE ARE CLASSICS

All they need is some resurficing like some polishing and New Paint And Being that my wife is manager at a auto parts store I get these items pretty cheap.

Let me know if I should get them.

Not my style, but with rims, it's really your preference.. nothing is better over another unless you get into the wheel weight/distrubution arguments.

Are these the BBS ones? If so, get 'em! Unless you're going low...then you need bigger rims...

I would make this decision based on weight...a stock steel rim weights 19lbs - I'd bet these are in the 15-16lbs range.

Reducing rotational mass is the #1 thing you can do to increase performance, and gas mileage....imho

Ahhhh BBS dealer add on wheels. I mean, if you like them, sure. I'd save up for something else. But that's me.
