Default What does anyone know about these wheels?

Does anyone know anything about these wheels? Forged? Three piece? Good? Crud?

$2200 with tires seems like a pretty good deal.

I was curious about those too.. I seeen before looks like nonamers.


a buddy of mine just picked up some 19's of ebay, similar type of wheel/vendor.

went to look at them, but they were not a true multi piece, looked like it though. but the buttons were fake.

he paid 800 bucks for 19s though ( not bad)

to each his own i guess. and we can sit here and name all the top wheel makers and our top wheel WISH list. but sometimes if you can't afford to drop 4k on some wheels, i don't see anything wrong in upgrading to these from stock just my 2 cents

They're definately a no-name or knock-off brand (not that that bothers me), but I have serious doubts about the quoted $3500 list price. With that said, I don't think $2200 is that good, especially when in the CL classifieds a member is selling 19" chrome Zauber Gettins w/tires for $2500!!!

I'm with you on this one. The wheels look nice and the quality from the pics can be misleading....but it looks sturdy. Any wheel can bend.....including HREs and Works. If you like them and they are a great price...get them.

But for that price I think you could get something else.

There is another thread on this wheel although the thread deteriorated pretty quickly.

Honestly, I dont think its fair to guage new wheel pricing against used wheel pricing. Especially considering that used wheel pricing can be all over the board, for example, there is another member in the classifieds sellilng silver 19" gettins for 4500 with tires.

As for quality, they are in the Axis, TSW, etc etc arena not bad wheels at all for those on a budget. They are also a step above the HP type stuff that goes for 1600 with 19" rubber, yadda yadda. Wheels like this are made by one manufacturer and then distributed under various different brand names.

Here is an example of the brand that we carry, called JAZ



22" on a Toureg
