Most members don't look at threads when so little info in the title.
Ask "Like these wheels?".... you'll probably get lots of feedback.

I don't know a lot about 3rd gen wheels but isn't that too much backspace. Thought factory was 5.5".
They look sharp...not too much bling.

Around 6.1" Backspacing and +42mm Offset is what the factory wheels are on 3rd gens.

I am not over whelmed with those wheels, but they look a lot better than some I have seen. The BS should be very close to stock and that would be good.

Wouldn't be my first choice...

Look too close to stock wheels to me.

They will probably fit well though...

According to the specs you provided that wheel should have 4.5" of backspacing not 6.07". The Wheel Pros spec catalog also states that the 17x8 Helo HE821 wheel in an 8x6.5 bolt pattern does indeed have 4.5" of backspacing. The website you got that from must have a typo. Thought you might want to know that......
