Sold on eBay: 7" LCD Car DVD GPS player - 18" wheels

I recently purchased a 2008 Mazda 3 hatchback. It has every option except the nav, which I'm actually kinda glad because the stock one I played with sucked. Anyhow, I've been searching around and there appears to be 2 companies on ebay that sell units that pretty have all the goodies that an aftermarket unit has, attache to the stock unit or replace it and look pretty integral. They have: Bluetooth, ipod hook up, nav etc. Anyone know if they work ok? Or do you get what you pay for and should I just plunk down the big bucks for a Kenwood?

Here's links..
full unit:

face plate:

Also, my car has the 18" wheels that come on the speed version. It seems to follow every groove in the road of if the asphalt is uneven it will "wander". I spoke with a service guy who told me it is a byproduct of the larger diameter wheels, so I'm considering looking for a set of 5 spokes from a '04-'06 which I prefer to the multi-spoke look anyway...do you have the same problem? Wanna buy some 18" wheels?

Here's a pic of the car

I can take close ups of the wheels and tread later today. The tires still have a decent amount of tread left on them too, and they're nice pirellis...
