Default After accident need new wheels- I am thinking Rial Nogaro's Anyone use these?

A few weeks ago I had a snow day accident and hit a curb and destroyed a wheel - they were fake BBS LM's and the company that produces them are out of business now - so I have to get 4 new rims (thats the risk I took with getting knockoffs!). No big deal though, I'll sell the three good ones on ebay pretty easily I think if people need replacements.

Anyhow, I need cheap 18 inch wheels since insurance hasn't given me a lot of money and I still have 4 fresh 225/40/18 tires.

I am thinking the Rial Nogaro's look very nice. They are about 200 each.

Unfortunately my current rims are 8.5 wide ET35 so my current spacers won't put the wheel out as far as they used to, but they should still work.

I've always liked the look of them, but have feared the quality. Tire Rack private label, IIRC.

Default They can't be worse than the no name knockoffs I currently have lol!

The wheel that got destroyed is actually in pretty good shape for being the point where all energy was transferred to the car!

Default I almost bought some. Here are some pictures of them on a TT.

I think these are 19s though.
