What are you planning to put them on? The back spacing may not work. These are meant for roundy round dirt track racing not for The pot holes etc. you run across on the street. If you keep looking I'm sure you will find some black chrome wheels that are designed for street use.
No pot holes on a dirt track at all....,ever. Perfectly smooth surface.
Entirely different kind of suspension and tire combo. But it is his car and if he is willing to trust those rims go for it.
Most likely not DOT approved because they don't have a "safety bead" that prevents the tire's bead from moving inward for instance if you hit a pothole so yeah if he wants to then you takes your chances, I wouldn't. And people always think those safety standards are just only for the person's vehicle and their safety and not for the innocent other drivers, passengers and pedestrians WHICH THEY ARE. Hit a pothole, break a bead seal, lose control, hit a school bus, yeah extreme but yeah what if, then how much did it really matter if you were running not DOT/FMVSS compliant components on your vehicle? Just saying.
