My recommendation would be no. You could probably get em new from wheelnext or tirerack for about the same price.

Here's their website for a some info on the company that make those wheels.

It is a good deal but I would just really check them and make sure they're not damage in anyway. I m jsut not big on buying wheels second hand.

It's crazy how many rims look alike now, those look EXACTLY like the MRR GT-1s

Yeah there's only so many styles you can create without being tacky. I think the big differences are wheel material quality and weight. Lip size from one brand to the next seems to be pretty big too for a competitive edge.
