Default New Wheels

I am thinking about buying a new set of wheels. I want to go up to 17" so that I can put a set of LS400 calipers and rotors on my car.

The wheels are on EBAY here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-In...spagenameZWDVW

What do you all think? And have you bought fron these people?

The spec for those wheels is for compacts such as Camry, Maxima, Altima & Accord. 17x7.5 +40 won't clear the LS400 4-pot calipers. U need at least 17x8.5 +30 & lower offset(Or high-disk) to fit the LS brakes.
