What's wrong with these wheels, and (newbie) questions about swapping wheels

[washere]

I have a Panthera 22 GT2, and am not thrilled with the wheels, but not looking to spend a ton either. These are about the color/style I am looking for. I Considered powder coating the factory wheels, but I am not sold on the idea. If I just wanted to swap out the factory wheels with something like this, what issues would I have? I know the factory rims are 8 front and 8.5 rear. I assume my brand new factory tires will fit on the 1/2" wider front wheels? Also is 35mm offset front and back a problem? Would I need spacers anyplace? And what about TMPS? I know sometimes the factory TPMS sensors fit and sometimes they don't. Any idea what that would cost if they don't?

I wouldn't buy wheels that don't even have a brand. Seems sketchy to me especially with how much stress a wheel can deal with during normal operation.

Size wise they should fit barring any issue with them clearing the big Brembo calipers..

I'd check with some of the vendors we have here. I've done business with @GetYourWheels and they're great to work with and will help with fitment.

Lots of us have either , painted , dipped or coated the OEMs ..............they look great monotone !! My reco would be dip a wheel and see what you think . Easy to peel off , and if you like the look i would reco , either paint or powder coat , dip does not last

Don't be cheap. My son got some lower end wheels for his car and less than 6 months paint is peeling, and chipping off, etc. His wheels where around $575 from ECS tuning. I get why there's a market for inexpensive wheels, but if they need to be replaced, or look like crap in a year or two, it's not worth the money. I would figure on spending at least $200-$250 per wheel at a minimum. Yes, OEM tires will fit if you add 1/2 in extra width in front and up to 1 inch extra width in the rear.

Thank you for the unfortunate example. I will just get the Niche wheels that I really like. They are not that much more anyway. I will reach out to one of the forum vendors (one of which is local enough) and see if I can get a good deal on them.
