Default I was looing at them at Edgeracing ... I did a search and found they were listed/linked from a lots

of BMW club pages.. so they can't be all that bad. If I'm not mistaken a couple of their wheels on the edracing web site looks awfully familiar. OEM manufacturer maybe?

Default I am perhaps the only TT owner w/ Rondells. I have the Design 58, which is a mesh BBS- type wheel.

I bought them from a Jetta guy off the Vortex site for $600! I did not weigh them but they seemed well made. They are not available in the US w/ TT fitments and do not come in 8.5" or 18". Mine are 17x8 w/ 35ET. However, you can order them from UK dealers or directly from Rondell at very reasonable prices incl. FedEx to your door. Here is the German site: http://www.rondell.de/neu/source/set1.php?pfad=english. They speak/type English. I will take a photo and post it.

Default Thanks for the info!! EdgeRacing now carries them in the US. How has the -->

durability, strength been? I am interested in the 64 in 17" which is a copy of the stock six spoke TT wheel. They are very reasonably priced from EdgeRacing ($180) so I was concerned that they might bend easily like some of the Italian wheels.

I only have put about a 1000 miles on them and can't really say yet.
