They look good to me. The main things to check are the welds and the finish. The welds look good in the pic. They appear to be stainless steel and not coated mild steel. Use a rubbing compound on them before you install them. Rub them pretty hard and then check for cracks in the finish by holding it up to a light, at an angle.
I like the slanted tips......

If they are stainless, there is no need to use a polish or rubbing compound (except to just keep them looking good).
Polishing chromed pieces and looking at the surface under a bright light can show bubbles and irregularities that will later cause appearance problems.
