Default T/As with "mesh" style wheels

so i was looking on ebay for some new rims and found these.....
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...1%7C240%3A1318

anyone know anything about these wheels? i emailed the seller and they will sell them in a 19x9.5 rear and they are checking to see if they can get a 19x10. I will either get these in a 18x8.5 front by 18x9.5 rear or same thing in a 19" wheel. anyways i wanna get an idea on what these look like soo... POST UP SOME PICS! please they dont have to be these exact ones, just something close.

They are are continental contiextremecontacts all season tires, they are great. This is the second set I've had they hook very good considering all season tread and a 400 tread rating. They are relatively cheap.

I got the wheels for a little over 1000 to my door. They can be had cheaper, but I went with the chrome finish.
