Default Buying SS wheels...Need HELP??

My friend is selling his five spoke 17x9 alloy, not chrome, SS wheels. I believe they are for a 98 or 99 SS. He has pretty much brand new BF GT tire on them and is asking $650 for the set. They are in great condition. I have the factory chrome 16inch z28 wheels on my Pewter Z28.

First question is this a good deal???

Would these wheel look better than my stock ones even tho they are not chrome?

When he took them off the car he did not mark the wheels, meaning idk which one was the right or left front or rear, does this matter when i try to put them on my car???

I just like them bc they are a little bit taller and wider than stock. I'm kind use to the chrome, but I liked them on his white Z28
