Used or new doesn't matter as long as they're good condition. Considering the year one wheels as well.

Those tires are wicked. I have them on my mustang and they grip like crazy in dry weather. Car looks good man. I've delt with that Sorat place on many occasions for wheels for my bmw's and everytime got a great deal.

I have the same kdw's on my Subaru. As does Ken Block on his Gymkhana 1 car. I like them a lot and definately do not notice the noise with my interior half stripped and catless exhaust. Good choice, and definately looks sharp.
