good price in my opinion. they look pretty mint from the pics. tires included? i paid a little more than that for my set, no tires, perfect condition, 18x8/18x9.5. shipping killed me tho.

i have my set of bbs lm 18X8+50 and 18X9.5+40 with 225/255 dunlop star specs for sale if anyone's interested.
the reverse mounting process is really simple actually. just takes time and patience, and a good amount of elbow grease.
the rears used to be 9.5+55 but reverse mounting lowers the offset by about 15mm. looks so much better.
been thinking about doing the fronts to make them 8+35 but i'd have to do a pull on the front fender which i don't want to do right now.

i forgot what size the nuts and bolts are..
i will look in my garage later if anyone wants to know.
but i think you need a 10mm and 8mm 12 point socket to loosen all the nuts and bolts.
take off the face. clean off all that gunk that will be on the barrel lip with some bug and tar (if it's dirty, coz mine was!)
then clean the mounting surface of the face very well as well as the mounting surface on the inside (backside) of the barrel really well.
basically make sure the contacting surfaces are clean of debris and then apply a thin coat of grease (like anti-seize) between the contacting surfaces to allow easy removal in the future and prevent scratches from developing in case you ever reverse your reverse mount!
tighten all the nuts and bolts in a star pattern using loctite blue.
torque them to 25 ft/lbs (gathered from other threads)
