Rial Daytona wheels?

Does anyone know anything about Rial wheels? An obvious LM knockoff and I absolutely love LM's, but cannot lay out that kind of cash (nor would the wife approve) along with buying 19" tires as well. They come in 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 with a 14mm and 17mm offset. They are a 3 piece design and Tirerack sells them at a very reasonable price too.The only downside is the weight at 31.5lbs each which seem very heavy (although I wonder if I'd even notice since I usually drive at no more than 6/10ths).

Any input?

Country Of Origin... GERMANY
Certifications... JWL, TUV
Construction Type ...3 PIECE CONSTRUCTION
Material Alloy... Al Si Mg 11
Structural Warranty... 5 years
Finish Process... SATIN W/POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL LIP
Finish Warranty... 2 YEARS

All things considered it is a very nice, cost effective, well built wheel with the only draw back being it's weight as you mentioned.

Was that weight for front or rear?

When you contrast against the stock M5 wheels,

Fronts = 24.20 lbs
Rears = 25.18 lbs

that makes for a difference of 6 or 7 lbs each corner. That's significant for rotating mass + unsprung weight.

That being said, I too love the LM's so these caught my eye. I'd been thinking in 20's to replace the style 168's on my 4.8is, but I can only imagine the weight penalty on the larger diameter wheels!
