Opinion on Wheels

Anyone have any experience with RIAL wheels from Germany. Tirerack has some in a 16" for my CDI and I was considering using them for summer wheels.
Would appreciate feedback if you think they would look OK.

BTW, no, not going with larger diameter wheels. Can not with full confidence unless we do surgery and replace some suspension parts per Mercedes. This is specific to the US E320 CDI.

So, let me know what you think looks wise.

Most people buy Rial as cheap winter wheels.

Why not buy an OEM set, the 16" wheels are super cheap, check the classifieds.
