Are these replica rims?

[Jon11582]

Looking for someone good with wheels. Tryin to figure out what these are replicas of. Im pretty sure these are replicas since they sell 3 different brands and they all look exactly the same.

hmm...those look familiar


dunno what they're replicas of tho...but i do know they are a biiatch to clean!

[Jaimster]

I think that design is made by many companies...

I've seen many rims with a similar pattern, but those HP's are hott...I was gonna get those a while back.

But yeah, any design like that is hard to clean! Like mine...I hate cleaning them!

Those are awesome!!

those are the replicas of the bbs rims.

but alot of companys make the same design.

ADR - M sport
HP - EVOs
Volkners - formula 1 sport Mesh
and some other ones.

The ADR and HP are exactly alike and are made by the same company but with diff center caps. thats the only diff.

You got the model number or a picture of the BBSs? I cant seem to find them.

Volkners are a little diff. They have 9/18 spokes and have straight spokes. These have 10/20 spokes, and thier more curved spokes. I was looking at the Volkners before, but I think I like this one better.

Its hard to tell the structural integrety of rims since very few people buy the same rims, and I think thats my biggest concern. Its tough to tell if theyll bend if you look at them the wrong way. But for straight up design, I like these, which is why I wanted to figure out what the originals were.

Hey thealkimo,

Are those hypersilver or just regular silver? The ones I found are supposidly hypersilver and look darker than yours.

I am not srue on the exact model. but try to google it.

I know other companies make simialir design but its not exactly the same. The only ones i know that are exactly the same are the ADR, HP and BBS and even volks had one.

Check out wheelguy.com, they have a very similar set, diff. brand (Exel I believe). Don't Know 'bout the quality though.

[Jon11582]

Exel E-2 was the other one just like it. Those are on wheelmax too. The AZA Z-2 are also on wheelmax, and are also exactly the same.

The HP Evos are on both wheelmax and wheelguyz, but wheelguyz got them alot cheaper.

i got mine from wheelguyz cuz they had the best price...however i do not recommend ordering from them becuz they say they will be shipped within 24hrs but didn't receive notice that they were actually shipped until 4 days later (free shipping took longer than promised too), plus i specified nankangs and they gave me wanli tires, plus they require you to pay $100 for mounting and balancing and after i had them installed found out that they were not balanced correctly so i had to pay the shop to rebalance them. it was a bit too frustrating for my tastes. i liked the hp design rims after seeing them featured in import tuner a couple times and so far no problems with rubbing and the rims have survived some pretty severe potholes. get em!

[Jon11582]

So they charge 100 for mount n balance for the wheel/tire packages huh?

Will take that into consideration, but I still think theyll be the cheapest. Thanks for the info about them surviving potholes.

Planning to get rims in Feb or so, after the winter, just starting the research now.

You got 18x8, w/ 225s 38+ offset right? Any issues with rubbing or spacers being needed?

i thought i was getting 18x8 since that's what i ordered, but when they arrived i saw that gave me 18x7.5 which was another thing that pissed me off about that site perhaps they thought the 18x8s wouldn't fit or something...either way 7.5 don't rub at all

my 17's konig's too had similar design! IMO, that design is overplayed (still looks good, but is overplayed).
