Default Wheel opinion?

First off let me explain. I found a guy locally with these wheels. They are 17x11, and 17x9's. They come with new tires. The guy is only asking $775. I like the look of them, plus no-one has them. What do you all think? They would be going on my white SS. And I'm actually leaning towards the idea of painting the centers black.

What are they made out of? They're not terrible, but the spokes aren't really long enough in my opinion.

Why are you still talking to us??? $775 for W&T in good condition is a deal.
I have a white SS...I thought about that style wheel. Worst case you could sell later without a loss like the guy who paid $1500 or more.
