Nice wheels, great condition.
Jeff,
This stuff is so totally subjective--they are fine looking wheels. Taste varies so much, personally they are not something I'd pick up but my reasons for feeling that way are most likely not relevant to you. On a GT3 I've always felt these wheels look too plain and I have bias against the brushed/clear-coated look too.
If they look good to you, you should get them. Go to the dealership (if they are anywhere near you) and take one of the wheels and set it up where your wheel is now and see how you like the look. You didn't say what your car looks like. These wheels may look really good with the right color combination and on the right model. Good luck, if you get them I hope they look great and you're pleased with them. Jeff J.

If they were OEM maybe, but I think they are little too plain and common. There are way too many styles and brand names of wheels you can get with few hundred bucks more, why would you settle for these. IMHO!

I would NEVER consider 'fly by night, aftermarket' wheels.
There are SOME manufactures that make quality product- BBS, Kinesis, Fikse, etc, etc.... but no-name brands are a big red flag for me.
I suppose if they could supply the TUV certification, and I could track back the TUV listing to the factory that made them.... otherwise too much incentive of bending the truth or outright lying about certs.
There is a reason factory wheels cost so much, not just the P tax.. you want the same quality and strength in a replacement....

this is exactly the type of respond i was hoping to get...
i guess is a really hard thing to get personal take on wheel stylings...
such a subjective thing....personally like these wheels, i dont like too much of the "bling bling" and like more the stock look.
but will definitely find an OEM set rather than unknown knock offs.
thanks again!
