No.

I wouldn't put those heavy-ass wheels on my car if you paid me.

For $900 you could get a nice set of brand new ROTA lightweight wheels.

Weight is vital brother.

Here are just some of the benefits of lightweight wheels:
- less stress on suspension and steering components
- quicker suspension response, better handling
- better deceleration (braking)
- better acceleration
- nicer ride quality
- improved steering feel

Going to a heavy wheel will create the opposite effect of everything I've listed.

Do the right thing.
