help a fellow out

Hey guys, thinking of getting some budget wheels. not too many potholes where i live, and it's not like i track the car, so ebay wheels it is.

I like the look of these, and i've got a couple, easy to answer, questions:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/18-GOLD-LM-S...t_10175wt_1010

1. Any reason why these wouldn't look good? Too small? Perhaps the color?
2. What about fitment? Any obvious problems?
3. What size tires should i get?
4. Will I need to get spacers or roll my fenders?
5. I played around with the wheel calculator on here, and it said i'd lose like 4mm on the strut side (or something along those lines), am i safe with that?

Thanks guys.

It says offsets are +35, which I think are okay, considering the size 18 x 8 F and 18 x 9 R. Tire size as on that page and what I've heard about the 18 would probably be 225/40/18 F and 255/35/18 R. You should also check out tire-rack for tire sizes, once you input your vehicle information. I found it very useful.

Overall, being ebay, I don't know how reliable you consider these. There are a lot of vendors here who are selling some nice rims for that price. Of course tires are extra in both cases. Check out here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=134
