Sry for sounding like a noob but what is a valence? And secondly those rims are pretty damn cheap but then again they weight 30 lbs each :s. And if you set your car up like this one is (staggered) then doesnt that cause more understeer? Also on the ebay site it says the 18x 8.5 might rub on coilovers is this the reason for the 5mm spacers?

A rear valance is the add on piece at the bottom of the bumper and rear quarter. It is clearly visible in the rear shot of the car. You are right, the wheels are gay. A staggered setup does create more understeer. And that is the reason for the 5mm spacers.
