You can get them cheaper than that 
Mine are Dare DR-B's (same range of replica splits) and were £360 delivered for four in 16x8 front and 16x9 rear.
Work wise.. it takes a lot to do it right. Me and Xav spent weeks on the stance of mine, with that wheel fitment it needs massive spacers to get the offset right, and that leads to other problems with wheel arch clearance. The rears especially, 16x9 ONLY fits with massive poke or they rub on the inner arch. Without pulling or creating your own arches you end up with about 30mm of poke, and then you have to run stretched tyres to even think about getting them in the arches and having any suspension travel.
Also in the rear doors on the estate, just above the wheel arch, there is a bit of metal the wheels like to rub on that you need to hammer out flat. Mine are now highly polished after meeting rubber a few times!
Honestly though, ALL this is covered in my project thread, have a read. Will give you some idea how much effort it takes to get it right. It's not just a case of buy wheels, get tyres fitted, fit to car.
You need to look at spacer size, amount of stretch, arch clearance, running stud and nuts instead of bolts. You also need a good condition rear beam as clearance is minimal so any bearing play will lead to issues, coilovers at the front with possible camber adjustment to tuck the wheels in at the top...
But yes, they will look win. I want the all black ones with gold bolts in 17", will look phit.
