Opinion needed on wheels

I have found a set of these wheels for a good price. Problem is, my local vendor will sell them to me but will not warrant the wheels.

The manufacturer is American Eagle Alloys. The style of wheel is 114 and the size is 18X9.5.

My vendor claims that the manufacturer does not firmly stand behind their product. The wheel looks great and is very cost effective....around $150 a piece. It almost looks like a Weld knockoff! But doesnt cost $400.

My question is, should I be concerned about the build quality of these wheels? Are they prone to failure?
