No idea as it doesnt say what the tyres are, but at that price they wont be premium tyres.

I was just saying that there isnt anything wrong with replicas as long as they are ok. I paid just under 1k for 18 LM reps but the price was high because I specified I wanted Goodyear Eagle F1 Assyms which arent cheap.

Genuine 18 LMs are around £3200.

ZR is just the speed rating - http://www.performancealloys.com/tyre_tech.asp

I doesn't actually say what the tyres are.

Hey guys, Ive just done a swap for my five spoke A3 alloys for a replica set of the 17" MK5 Gti's. I have a silver car too and to be honest i really like them. Im sitting on 35mm springs at the mo but front hasnt dropped as much as i'd like so having to maybe put 50mm under front however they do look good in my opinion. Although the silver/chrome styled look I think isnt the best with the Silver of my car. (Reflex Silver) Hence the reason I'm gonna have them sprayed a Glossy Black type colour, a shiny colour. Seen a pic of this already around the net and It looked sweet. Ive got to colour code bumper inserts yet so once thats done it'll look nice I reckon:) Here's a pic mate that might help u decide...
