Cool Thoughts on these rims?

I'm planning to buy these rims. They're apparently 17x8s. He doesn't know the offset, anybody know? The tires have about 50% tread left apparently.
There's also a small bend on 1 rim. SSR Type C rims.


Few questions that you guys can hopefully answer:

1. Legit/real wheels? These are forged right?
2. Condition wise, how do the wheels look?
3. How much to fix that bend approx? (I'm in Toronto, preferably Canadian $$)
4. Worth $900 to buy em? (Canadian)(I also have to get the rim repaired, which is approx $250) If not worth, what price do you think would be good for the rim+tire?

5. What color are these rims..?

6. What's the offset? Would it fit/look nice on stock height BRZ?

I tried googling the brand, but I can only find bronze and gun metal. But it doesn't look gunmetal, it looks silver to me, which leads me to think it's fake?

Thaaaanks!

Fakes. I've never seen dual drilled SSR type-c. I don't even think SSR-5 is an actual model. That shitty decal is a easy giveaway. It is usually white font with black shadow, not the other way around.

I don't need to answer the rest of the questions.

The alternative are gram lights 57dr or advan rg series (rg rg2 rgd)

If you need forged wheels, be prepared to pay.

Still, that's a very common design. You should be able to find something like that with ease. Don't give up.
