Thanks

I just got mine recently; I got them from ECS tuning. Quality is ok - from 5' away they look perfect. If you look very closely, can find some tiny imperfections in the paint on the face. The polished barrels are flawless. Like any other cheap Chinese garbage cast wheel, they are heavy and prone to bending (but I got mine on sale for ~$350 for all 4 wheels, just as a stop gap til I find a set of real monoblocks, so I don't care about that).
Most importantly: I got the staggered set (17x8 +30 front, 17x9 +30 rear), and the front requires 20mm spacers to clear the brakes. They absolutely will not fit with anything less than 20mm spacers. They sit flush with the wheel arch with those spacers, so I'm good with it, but it's important to plan for that. In order to get the rear aligned with the front and line up with the wheel arch, needed 12mm spacers.
I can post pics if it's important, just let me know. Currently waiting on a set of extended bolts so I can mount the fronts with those spacers.

Yes, from the guys that fix them at a wheel shop nearby.
Crazy is as crazy does.
The rim choices I've made aren't crazy, but emphasize safety.
Still, one could run rims made out of tin foil if it's their choice, and judged by what I saw at the shop; many do. It's an issue I'd rather avoid.
Run whatever you like.

I can surly attest to that statement I have Ronal wheels on my SL600 and SL500 I drive these cars as fast as they will go every chance I get, last thing I need to worry about is a wheel or bolt failure.
