exel makes cheap quality rims with fwd offsets designed mainly for honda's. They could very well crack if you hit a pothole hard enough. You would also have to use spacers to make them flush with the fenders...if you care.

Hmm... The 17x7 should have told you something. 17x7 is mostly a FWD size.

also, let me school you: that is not considered deep dish! Deep dish/fat lip only counts when the FACE of the spokes are actually deep in there. Those wheels actually have about a 1/2" "real" lip... The spokes just "disappear" back into the wheel to give the APPEARANCE of a deep lip. :o I think that type of design looks UBER ugly on everything but Advan SA3R (?) or whichever 3-spoke advan has that sort of design. . .

it's cast metal. It'll eventually crack... just can't predict when. hopefully it'll outlast the life of your car.
if you get low profile tires and hit a nasty pothole, I'm sure a big chuck of the dish will crack off.
