Ultralight 15" wheels for Citroën/Peugeot owners

Looking for a second set of wheels I came across lightweight wheels for Citroën's C5, serial number 5401.Q8. They look like steelies, but are supposedly alloys, and weigh only 4 kg each. Size: 15" 6J, 4x108 screw pattern, ET18.

From the info I've found, the first batch of wheels could dangerously crack, but this was fixed with new screwholes and special screws.

I'd love to get a set of those on the car, but I'm not sure how to discern the "bad" batch from the fixed wheels. I also don't know whether special screws will fit my hubs. Plus the ET18 offset means they will stick out 9mm compared to mine (ET27). This may make my rear skirts obsolete.
