Default yay or nay?

so ive finally bought some new wheels...after almost a year of looking locally those are the once decent looking ones that i could find besides corvette wheels which am not a fan of...they are used, dirty and have some scuffs here and there but repairable since am going to polish them anyway they are 18s all around 9 or 9.5" not sure yet and they came off a 2002 bmw so a 20 or 25mm offset if am correct..either way i love bmw offset on fbodys, they stick out a lil...am thinking of 275 tires at the rear and 245 fronts...got them for 240$...opinions are welcomed tried them in the car but no pics and i really cant tell how good they look without tires...what do you think?
