Thoughts on Zone ARX rims?

Hey guys, came across a set of fairly beat up 90s period Zone ARX 15x7" rims in 4x114.3mm +16mm fitment. Just thought they would be good to have as a spare set for track days etc. I'm a little bit worried that the offset is going to be too agressive, especially when I'm running at near standard ride height and camber. Currently it has slightly lower springs all round but have a 1-2" guard gap all round. Camber currently is about -0.5 up front and -2.0 at the rear. I'm not so much worried about the rears as they will fill up and tuck in nicely, however the fronts will probably stick out a little bit.

They look like this

but I plan on sand blasting them back, fixing up the gutter rash and spraying a metallic silver to look like so

it's a pity they ones I've found don't come with the center caps or the extra clip on discs.

Your thoughts?

They'll poke out 15mm more than my RS-Evolutions did, so will be okay, with a little negative camber on the front they'll be perfect.

I'd like to see how those look on a galant, can't say I'm a fan just yet, defiantly a different looking appearance for a wheel.

They'd look really sweet if you found the center caps and outer rings. I think those kind of make those wheels. Almost looks unfinished without them. Still pretty sweet and retro nonetheless

I think those are pretty fresh. They look a lot like old Ronals. Given the boxy shape of the car, I'd say they'd make a nice match, if the fit was good.

i agree with lilb, i bought some beat up work equips(discontinued in 2001) once they were 19's and super aggressive had to get em sand blasted and powder coated ended up not clearing my bbk haha, but they came with center caps, without center caps and the outer ring the look will never be complete

If my maths is right they should fit just....
16x8 +30 just kisses the sidewalls on the front guards, with minimal camber. These wheels are 25mm narrower but sit 17mm further out, which makes them sit out... ummm 4.5mm further?
