I have a pair of those (bought in Germany). Read some reviews and tests before purchasing and found nothing but high praise for the Newmen rims.
A magazine tested rims to destruction, and these were the toughest and lightest alu rims by far. Even tougher than several carbon rims and lighter than some carbon options too.
So far mine are good, but i haven't ridden them enough for a final verdict. One thing though, the rims might be tough but they don't protect the tyre any better than normal rims. I managed to pinch right through a sidewall and thread in one hit. Not a scratch on the rim.
