They look very nice. It's good that rear wheels are bigger than the front which is a must for the car to look good. I am not sure what tire setup you should use, though. Someone else will probably be able to help with that.

I love how they look. They take Mercedes center caps. That's a plus. One thing about replicas is that many of them are heavier than genuine.

on fedex it says 120 overall weight so they’re 30 pounds probably less

As per Tire Rack. Each 5 lbs of wheel weight is equivalent to 80 lbs of non rotating weight. So you can see that 5 lbs addition weight per wheel would be felt.
