17 1/2 inch Rims? from Excursion

I found an ad on Craigs list for 17 1/2 inch rims from an Excursion. I saw this style of rims on an Ex just a few days ago and they look really great. Is the seller here correct about the size? I thought that half sizes were a bad idea since the tire size is harder to get. I was looking for larger rims for my EBau Ex. The price seems great for OEM Ford rims, but the half size makes me nervous. I currently have the factory 16X7 rims on my Ex with 285/75R/16's. They look good but the tires bow outward somewhat from the rim. (Looks great from the side but up close looks bad to me). Does any of our members have these rims? The center caps say "Limited" on them.

The price is $200. Is that a deal or should I wait and get something else?

just take a tape measure with you and measure the rims (the width) just to make sure they are 8's if you end up getting them.
