Is this a good deal?

I found some 18" ICW wheels with almost new tires for $350. The only thing is the tires are 215-35-18 which are basically rubber bands, they have a little curb rash, and I drive about 80 miles a day to and from work but they are some nice looking wheels. What do yall think, is it go or not what would you do? Here is the link to the pics.

Would the 215-35-18 be too little for daily driving?

I would get a little more meater tires. I have known wheels to get curbed/dented with 35 series tires. Of course thats me, and where I live the streets are like war zone paths.

That's actually what I was looking for some 5 spoke design that looks sort of stock nothing chrome or too flashy, not as young as i used to be, just semi stock but a bit bigger. It's time for tires and since I have to spend $350 anyways I figured y not?
