I had a set of Nogaro's (search Show me your wheels thread) and they were good wheels. Well made, strong and the finish was OK too - no complaints from me.

 

Rial has been a good brand for us at Tirerack. Well made presure castings, decent finish quality. I don't get call backs on them with any regularity.

Their QC reminds me of Borbet. Not cutting edge syle, a more classic approach and very well built.

Alex, you've been an outstanding member of this community way before I joined back in '05. And even though you folks retail these wheels, I've come to respect your unbiased opinions and recommendations.

roofaS, thanks for experiential inputs as well.

 

I bought Rial Salerno wheels for our 3 series, they have been great. Made in Germany, better finished than the OEM wheels, lighter than OEM by 6 lbs. each, zero complaints.

Then I helped two friends pick up a set from Tire Rack for their cars...

 

So, if I score some RIAL wheels can I use my '06 MINI lug bolts or must I buy new ones?

 

Witch model Rial wheels?

Alex

 

 

Seller says they came off an '05 MCS.

Will I need any hub rings?

 

Those are good looking. We do need rings, I belive we set that up yesterday!

Alex

 

Indeed we did. Thanks for calling back. Rings are ordered, you said they should be here Monday or Tuesday. Until then the wheels are sitting in the garage.

Found out they are RIAL model Campo 656 with custom high polish. Offset is 42 and hub opening is 63.3cm.

Thanks again for your help.

 

My pleasure, I'd like to see some pix here when you have time!
