Default What brand of wheel is worth a damn?

My front is Nevis is cracked and since that is that, I want two stock Nevis rears to replace both fronts.
Since used Nevis wheels for XKs are VERY hard to find since every seller thinks that the XF wheel is the same thing, and they are hundreds of 'monies' more than they should be, I'm looking at getting four aftermarket wheels for my XKR.

The interwebz if full of Chinese garbage.
What is a good wheel brand that isn't outrageously priced? Forged would be nice, but I don't need $10,000 worth of circular machined billet aluminum.
Custom is mandatory since my sizes will be different than stock.

If I don't find anything decent and reasonable, I'll suck it up and get my cracked wheel welded. I'm not going to race it anyway, so no noise about "you'll kill yourself".

Get it welded or buy the 2 nevis. Wheels are crap nowdays unless youre spending upwards of 4k

Cee Jay, thanks to you I found my Nevis wheels fairly easily.........In the EU. I just searched Ebayuk and Ebayit with the part number. The Italy wheels showed up in 3 days via DHL. From memory I was into a full set for under $650.
