Default I need help deciding... Mille Miglia Evo 17"

OK, someone I know is selling a set of Mille Miglia Evo 17"x7" Wheels. I have seen them on the prelude that she used to own, and I think they look really nice. However, when they were on her prelude, she got the front left wheel stuck in a pothole and spun it. So, now one of the rims is scratched on each spoke. The other three have average scratches. She wants $400 for them, but I think she'd take less. I've checked out this link before: http://www.bmwtips.com/tipsntr...r.htm, and was wondering if maybe I should consider repairing the wheel.

What do you guys think? Are these even good wheels? I saw on wheelweights.net these wheels weigh 23.3 lbs. Is that accurate? Is that heavy? I really don't know too much about wheels. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, the tires would have to be replaced.


Here's the wheel:


Here are the scratches. Every spoke looks like that.

Nice looking wheel, but heavy.

Default Lighter than my 15's?

Thanks for the replies. If there are more opinions out there, throw 'em at me.

Below is a picture of the wheels that are currently on my lude. They are 15's. Does anyone know how much they weigh, and would the 17's shown above be an upgrade? Thanks.
