Are these cymbals good?

A couple days ago I had to run to guitar center real quick to get a pair of hi hats for recording. I'm pretty new to drums so I don't know much at all about gear. The guitar center guy recommended these used 14inch Istanbul Sultan Series hi hats. He kept saying how good they were and how he's surprised no one has gotten them yet and all that. I'm weary of salesman, but I was in a real rush and I knew that I had 30 days to return them. Are these good hats? I'm not a great drummer yet, but the main styles that I'm interested in are: jazz, funk, hip hop, reggae, blues, some rock (although nothing really heavy). Are these good for that? I also paid 179 for them. Good deal or can I find something better?

Thanks.

Here's some pictures of the hats as well.
