Default to buy or not to buy?

my tires are worn out and am still running the ugly 16s so am in the hunt for new wheels with no hope ..today i ran across a guy whos selling 17" C6s for 130$, he totaled his camaro and getting rid of them. i searched for some pics but am not sure if i like the way they look usually am not a fan of vette wheels on camaro but that was for the 19s not sure how would 17 look. what do you guys think? the price is hard to resist ive been looking for wheels for like 3 months now with no hope everything is ugly..ideas and pics are appreciated? my car is black and the wheels are polished. thanks

one of the wheels has a scratch but the others are great. heres a pic of the bad wheel..yes they are dirty his car sat for a long time lol its rusted.



oh and i believe they are 8.5" wide? not sure though. am thinking of running 275 on the back.

EDIT: heres another pic

For 130$, I dont see where you could go wrong. If you run for a while and decide you don't like them, you could easily make your money back. Keep your original rims though. I don't think they would look to bad.

not a huge fan of the bigger C6s on camaros but i think the 17s would look good... especially for the amazing price
