Question New rims, need info STAT ;)

Okay, so I need ONE new rim for the one that is bent on my car, but I can't find it for <$200. Shit.
What are your thoughts about these?

I relize that my stock offset is 47mm and these are 38mm. But I have no idea what that means. Would someone care to explain that to me before I talk to my father about them?

Will they even fit?

Thanks guys.
Amanda

I have no idea why it won't hyperlink that. I'm retarded.

I don't think 38mm offset will fit if your stock is 47mm

38mm offset will work on your car. I think the recommended range is 35mm to 45mm (evidently, you can go up a little bit outside the range, since your OEM wheels are 47mm).

Amanda, I don't think your stock offset is 47mm, you might have that wrong?? I'm pretty sure it should be 37mm.
