If you've know that and you know nothing about maintenance it makes no sense to buy them. If you want them because they'll make you go faster, forget it. You will not save the amount of energy in a year of riding that you lose by dealing with those wheels instead of RIDING. If you want them because of the bling value then go right ahead - no need to worry about a little out-of-true, because the people who you will impress won't know any better.
