Niche Wheels - Any Experience?

Was looking for something else on European Auto Source and stumbled upon a pretty nice selection of wheels for the 2-series. Site is worth a look:

http://europeanautosource.com/bmw/2-series/f22-f23.html

Question is, anyone have experience on Niche wheels? Thinking the Circuit Sport Series Wheel Set would make a nice winter wheel for my M235, $200 per wheel seems like a pretty good price, but that said if the wheels are garbage $200 is no longer a bargain.

Good link but don't think I'd put $200 wheels on a $50k car personally

For winter wheels and tires I would absolutely do that and plan to. Will either be something like this or a Sport Edition rim from Tire Rack. The roads downtown in Chicago look like Beirut right now, need something borderline disposable but still decent quality. For reference I ran $150 SE on my S-4 and never had a problem whatsoever.

Having looked at the niche website they do offer premium wheels so I take it back, they aren't "just" a cheap wheel brand. I'd just check direct that they'll fit as that site lists lm-rs for the 2 series but they won't fit offset wise

Thanks for the heads up. The way I'm looking at this if I get tire insurance from Tire Rack for the rubber and the wheels are inexpensive, if I destroy one on a pothole I'm out $250 max which is more than reasonable. It's impossible to drive that carefully here, especially at night, and avoid all the potholes.

I am checking to see if this one will work, found on sale for $105 with free shipping! With a set of Blizzaks I should be good to go.
