Black 17" JCW knockoffs

Anyone have pics of these wheels on their 2004 MCS? I'm wondering what the downside of these wheels would be? Any input would be highly appreciated. Also the best recommendation of tire size on these.

I think the issue you might run in to will be similar to anything thats a knockoff. They may be quite heavy, not balance right, not well made, the finish might not last very long, they might rust. Granted they may be really nice and a really good deal, I just don't really like to buy anything knock off, especially since you can't see them in person. Wheels are also an important part of your cars braking, handling, and safety and I would be leery to compromise that.
