Yeah, liking those a lot.
As mentioned, the underlying inspiration behind the design is pretty clear, but it's a timeless style. |

Hi mate,
They are also available in Matte Bronze at the moment. Thanks mate, a few little chips unfortunately! lol Quote:
Hi Nick, Thanks - They come in et26 rears in Matte Bronze, to be honest though I wouldn't want much lower than they are! Quote:
They are £790 delivered mate and yes they are in stock and on sale now Chris. |

WOW Very impressed!
Car looks great Wheels look great the sizes are perfect! If you want lower offsets, just add a 5mm spacer and be happy. At least you have the perfect amount of room to play with. |

19" Rota Retail - £960 19" Quantum44 Retail (introductory offer) - £790 Rota warranty - Limited Quantum44 warranty - Lifetime It's a no brainer for us which we prefer to run mate. All Quantum44 wheels are low pressure cast are made in TUV Approved manufacturing facilities and come with a life time structural warranty. For £500 you are not going to get a branded after market wheel, we have plenty in stock at those prices though if you want us to PM you with details. Cheers, Chris. |

Damn, these are like 4th or 5th Generation TE37 reps.
I don't really understand the hype around this Quantum44 company, so far they haven't released one genuine design, all just copies of others. I mean yeah they look okay, bit detail lacking for me, don't scream quality from here but TE37s would just look so much better. It just baffles me is all, I don't think I've seen any other marque accept reps as openly as BMW owners do, not just this brand but loads, including reps of genuine BMW wheels. Car looks nice, just wish it had some real wheels on. |

Quantum44 have infact just released 2 brand new designs mate, the S3 and the S4 - Pics at the bottom of this post. The cost for a wheel brand to design wheels, develop moulds, testing and manufacturing a brand new design is astronomical. This is where you get the wheel prices often at £2k + when they go on sale to recoup these costs. Quantum44 are now bringing their own designs into the market and spending this money on development, something that the vast majority of other brands don't do yet still get the recognition for using other companies designs / ideas. There is no doubt there will be other brands bringing replicas of the new Quantum44 designs that will come onto the market, but that's how it is. To say the wheels look like the lack quality based on a few far away pics is a bit over the top - In this market not everyone can afford or wants to pay £3k + for wheels and you are always going to have other brands offer a similar wheel at much better value. Always has and always will be that way with wheels. In regards to the Replica BMW side of things - look at the issue customers are having with OEM BMW wheels cracking. Do you think they should go to BMW and pay £550+ for a single wheel which is destined to crack again, or pay £500 odd for a set of Replica wheels which are proving to hold up much better. Anyway, this is not a thread to discuss replica / OEM wheels. People will make their own choices. I certainly do not see BMW offering a lifetime structural warranty on any of it's 'Real' wheels, something which brands like Quantum44 do which speaks volumes in my opinion. PS - Just had a look at some of your photography work and there are some great shots. I may have some shots of customer's cars we could be doing with in the UK close to you that I will PM you about closer to the time And here are the new Quantum44 designs; S3 S4 |

By lacking quality I think it's something to do with the finish, I can't put my finger on it, think the shiny chrome like finish is something you usually see on cheaper wheels, I don't really know it just doesn't sit quite right with me, some angles they look fine and others it just looks a bit off. But then I am directly comparing them in my mind to TE37s, which obviously are stupidly expensive. You should mention the warranty thing more often, first I've heard of it! Not that I'm particularly looking for wheels though (well I always am, just will never do it as the car is a practical work horse) Oh and cheers I travel as well |
