Default Question - OE Thin Spokes - Ebay

Has anyone purchased the polished thin spokes/tire combo from OE off of ebay? Wrapped with Falken tires. Looking for feedback on rim quality and the Falken tires. I posted this in the wheels and tires section too, but no response. Here is a link:

I bought a set of these when I had my C4- nice enough and balanced well...but as mentioned above, they were not clear coated and that was a BIG issue in keeping them looking good...I had to buy mothers polish to keep them shiny...I guess you could clear them yourself...
