They look good. They are not expensive and they aren't that heavy either if I remember correctly. Quite great wheels...

...but I've heard people having some problems with those. They don't seem to be the strongest ones in the market (of course in the days of ultra low profile tires, wheels get bent easily and I don't know how careful the owners been with pot holes etc...)

btw. 19" isn't the 1st choice for DEs, at the moment it's much easier to buy nice 18" Pilot Cups or PZero Corsas for street/track use.

Anyway, if you get a good deal go and buy and try imho! Nice wheels and NOT a bad price!

Hmm very goodlooking wheel indeed, im liking them. Very BBS LM like, i just dont want to be looked as cheap if i were to get them or as a replica BBS wheel LOL, ive had tons and tons of highend wheels, nothing can beat the quality and strength of the BBS wheels.

Does anyone have pics of this wheel on a turbo? I searched but couldnt find any

EDIT: They dont look too good on the turbo :/





EDIT x2!!

I saw this car in the porsche magazines and LOVED these wheels, had no idea it was RIAL, these look so damm hot?!?

iLL, what's up man
Have to agree, they don't look as good with the silver centers. Gunmetal/black or something is a better option.
These sold in ebay.de for about 1300 euros:

So i guess since they claim they are "race" series wheels, they are lightweight and strong, depending on conditions of course with their strength!

Hmm they are very, very nice wheels in the gunmetal and black center, that gunmetal center though is a 20" wheel and only 10.5 in the back, i think that's also why it looks good because the wheel is larger opposed to the compressed spoke look on the other turbo's i posted, oh well!

We just started carrying them and still have them on the way, so getting true weights won't happen until we get them in. Expect rear wheels in the 25-30 lb. range. Rial as a company has been in business for over 30 years and incorporates some of the best technology in the industry. You'd be surprised to see the list of who they build wheels for. Overall the wheels are very good quality. They have to be or we are not going to carry them. These look surprisingly close to the LM, weigh pretty close, and are less than half the price. Please check out their websight at www.rial.de and give me a call to order if interested.
