I've seen Roundell (replicas) wheels advertised from several places and I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with them and can comment on the quality.

They're pretty cheap (price), and they look good in the pictures bit I'm wondering if they're also cheapo in quality or if they're in fact a bargain for the money.

Rondell I believe has the reputation of a pretty good company. A business parter of mine just bought some Rondell #63's (radial spoke design) which are flat out gorgeous on his e39 525i. I'm definately impressed with them. According to Rondell's website, they are an OEM provider to many euopean automakers. I'm gonna go with the Rondell 58 for my e39.

Well, I spelled them wrong - they're Rondells of course.

Good to hear a positive review and verification that they look good in person as well as in the pictures.

Anyone else? The other thing I'd be interested in knowing is how do they hold up in use. Do they bend or warp easily, for example? Or, do they scratch easily?

Where are they made at? I don't know anyone that has them on a BMW

Here in Sweden they have the exact opposite reputation; stories abound how they get out of round at potholes/hard braking. Buyer beware, you get what you pay for.
