Merseyspeed are okay, been around for yonks.
The one concern I'd have with those wheels would be where they were made. Decent quality European made (and safety tested) reps are fine, but be very careful of Far Eastern stuff. The type of wheel may be okay for a ratty old runabout where the finish isn't too important in a couple of years time but for a newish car you want decent quality wheels. Not least for insurance purposes should you ever have to claim. Ask before you buy.
You can get a genuine VW set of black Detroits for £570 inc VAT if you're quick.
