Help: Geniune BMW style 214 20" is made by RONAL in Mexico? See attached pictures

I am about to buy these from a guy who is selling his staggerd 20 in" wheels. He claims they are OEM Genunine BMW style 214 wheels.
I asked him to take pictures of the inner side of the wheels - please see below.
So the part number checks out 6772249 for the front and 6772250 for the rear according to realoem.com along with the BMW stamp
To my surprise, the pictures also showed these wheels are made by RONAL, also made in Mexico? Is this true? So are these genuine BMW light alloy wheels for Style 214?

Ronal and Borbet make wheels for a few OE applications, as well as some aftermarket. My front Hartge 21" Classic 2s were made by Ronal and the rears were made by Borbet.

Interesting..."Ronal" on GOOG turns up a link,
but the link does not open. Other links are
from wheel sellers, Euro operations, etc.

I was trying to find a corporate Ronal site
to see if they listed "manufacturing locations",
but no luck. Most mfg'ers love to rave about
their worldwide locations, esp. manufacturing.

Best case scenario he would like 2500 plus shipping -- tires got 1500 miles on them. But since Morristown BMW is selling the wheels for 1700 plus shipping and TireRack's got the set of Bridgestone RFT for about 1000. I really don't see myself paying what he is asking, so we will be negotiating.

Actually that price seems in the ballpark. Going rate for a brand new set of take-offs like that is around $3000. So $2500 with 1500 miles seems pretty good to me. Keep in mind those are the Dunlops, which are much more expensive ($400+ each?) than the Bridgestones. I'd pay $2500, and if you get below that then you surely have a deal.
