Default xhp sabre wheels

G'day all,
I'm thinking of buying these wheels for my au1 falcon from an ebayer called Infusion Wheels.I am unable to include a photo or link unfortunately, but I wondered if anybody out there has dealt with this seller or has these wheels (or similar) on there car. As the title says they are xhp sabre wheels,17" machined gun metal and cost $650 (no tyres).Would they be good quality for this price.Dont know too much about wheels so I hope somebody can help me here.
Thanks. Chris

au11, Thanks for your reply. I must say I was worried how they would look on my car, but after seeing them on yours I think I"ll get them!!! By the way,what tyres did you put on them.

$650 for rims only, plus at least another $500 for tyres. That's around $1200 total, for piddly little 17s.

You can get a set of 18" rims with tyres for around $1400 delivered to your door from tt_Tyres on ebay. And 19s for under $2k.
