that's just my 2 cents......
I didn't see the GERMANY stamp, but the FTC would look very dimly on that if it is not accurate as to country of origin...

All it would take would be one call from an anonymous competitor...

+1

This wheels are so accurately done that when the first sample came to us it even had the "BBS" stamp in the back. We requested the BBS to be removed for obvious reasons and then noticed the BMW in the front. The BBS has been removed from the back of the wheel and the BMW will be removed once it hits full production.

As far as the "Germany" we`ll take it out since it serves no purpose but it is just a name. It must have the "Made in" in order to have some validity.

Good eyes guys!

Uh oh... I am officially subscribed to this.

If the concavity is dead on (or even close) to OEM ZCP Rears or VS7's, I might sell my OEM 230's for these.

Depending on weight and concavity, you will have a buyer in me.

so are you the sister company of morr alloys that they have been talking about. Morr alloys said they will no longer make replicas but their sister company will have a full line of oem replicas. If so im sure the quality will be good because the morr alloys 162 was a quality wheel. Are you making these to accept oem centercaps? I hope so. I hate fake bmw centercaps.

We are the company that manufactured the 19" 162 rep that was sold by MORR a few years back. MORR then decided to only manufacture Forged wheels and handed us the rights to their 19" 162 tooling and their future cast projects which we gladly took. The 19" 162 has been a wheel that has had zero problems over the past 3 years and we are very proud of it. We are now bringing back the same quality of manufacturing in a full line of products.

thats really good to hear. Give me 225M's with aggressive offsets and I will be a customer. If I still have a 3 series by then.

Oh. This now starts to make sense. I had been asking Morr about making a cast CSL wheel, and I never got a decent response.

I can not begin to tell you how excited I am about these wheels.

Not sure about OEM match... ZCP's seem more concave in the rear. What do you guy's think?

The rear is completely different from the OEM ZCP / CSL rims...... The rear has straight spokes and are way more concave. Please go back to the drawing board and fix this. Also, please make these as light as the OEM wheels.
