    I say "jump on it." , but first check the bolt pattern and offset.

    Also make sure the center bore is big enough. We have a bigger hub than most.

    its up to you but

    paying that much only to have to powder coat is too rich for my blood. I would bet you could get black rims for what you are offering and I am also not sure what that style would look like black I like the black/silver look myself

    I agree, its not a bad deal but I think it would be better to buy wheels you're completely happy with. The tire are good though, you should see if the seller will split up the tires/rims and offer him around $500 for the tires.

    IMO, I don't think they're bad looking rims and you may like the chrome better once you put em' on the VX.

    oh yes chrome

    I did not think about it but check these rims for chrome peeling. After going through two sets on the VX I have sworn off chrome. BTW I looked into powder coating the chrome rims that I had and it was over $150 per rim so check for prices before you buy.
