It would be a good deal only if they are going to work for you. You should consider if you will be lowering your car because they may rub! Get the widths and offsets and tire size if you need more help from some of the members here. Good luck!

Most multi piece wheels are between 3-5k and depending on the sizes can go up to 10k

It all dends on brand of thw wheels and were they came from. Most 3 multi piece wheels run about 750-1500 each with out tires so is very possible.

If they are multi piece lol they could be mono. (not to say mono block is bad) People pay some crazy prices for wheels. They just go into a place and buy no research don't care about the quality. I see it all the time. hit a small pot hole cracked wheel. A good multi piece wheel $800 the right offset you got a great deal!! even a good mono block.

It also depends on the condition of the wheels, I hope they are not in bad shape.
