"Premium economy tyres" means "not alright" or "no way, Jose"
That is a very cheap price for a set of wheels and tyres. Usually means they are heavy, and of bucklesome strength. However they will look good until they encounter brake dust.
IMO when it comes to wheels and tyres, you get what you pay for.

maybe he's got three sets of four wheel/tyre packages??
cant get the clicky up because of websense.
if you want a reasonable deal on wheels/tyres then get a set of 17" super-legs and goody F1's for about £800 or a little over.
lightweight, look the part and the tyre profile is the sexiest one out there IMHO.
you get what you pay for is right.

Also says they are for a (classic) which will be the wrong offset for a bugeye.
You'd be better off picking up a set of the STI7/8 wheels in the F/S forum at the moment or the OZ's as mentioned above.

and it says the tyres are 205/40's , you'd need 205/45's or 215/40's.
wheels look ok but not the tyres , , there is a bloke on e-bay selling toyo 215/40/17's for 260 + a tenner P+P . i just purchased a set,,should be here tomorrow.

Thanks guys, sorry I forgot to mention that he is selling the same set but with 215/45/17 to fit my car (Bugeye) & that he isnt pi55ed he is selling 3 sets of 4 lol. If I have to spend £800 on a set of wheels then I will just replace the tyres on my original wheels. Thought it all had to be too good to be true!!
