Advice on wheel prices

I was looking on craigslist and came across this ad:

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb...421644572.html

The prices appear to be inexpensive, about $1400 - $1500 for the package of wheels and tires. The company behind the ad is audiocityusa.com. I'm interested in maybe the one listed as 'RW2', I think those are Rodericks if I'm not mistaken. I called and they said the tires included are Diamond Backs. Is this a good deal?

I would upgrade the tires to a real brand (falken, sumitomo, etc.) and then see what they want for the package and transfer of wheel sensors and mount and balance of all and then remount of your stocks ( i always do for emergency). I know there are alot of places that sell the rodericks also similar is euro 63 all over ebay.

I guess that's where they would have gotten me, the cheap tires. Also, I forgot about the sensors. Thanks for the advice Jimmy.
