ellis Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Came across these ESR Wheels recently and really love the look of both styles. There's no UK supplier though although they will ship (with UK customs whacking on their wedge etc) to the UK. So - I know there's probably a manufacturer or distributor somewhere with pretty identical wheel styles and I'm pretty sure there's a wheel expert out there who might be able to point me in the right direction!

Frank Bullitt Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Top is like Works Meister S1 /S1R or SSR SP1 and bottom is like CCW LM5T or LM5. Both mucho £££'s The S1/SP1 design is on quite a few forum supra now, it's a tried and tested method. Without the studs looks cleaner but the SP1 3 piece does look rather nice too! You could also go with an 18/17 combination which would be the best for handling if you thinking of dropping the 19's. They also have some nice colours to choose from now, let me a few pictures.

Ric Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 the 2nd pic looks like the CCW's that James (i think) just had fitted to his? like a swept 5 spoke design: Edit, yes, in the links above, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeiretto Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 ESR is like XXR/Japan Racing. They're pretty cheap knock-offs of the real deal, but if you're on a tight budget they're nice. Just avoid every single pothole you see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just avoid every single pothole you see. I figured that they must be copies. Don't fancy that - they'll be inferior material and construction and a lot heavier no doubt. The aim here is for lightness and much, much better handling (whilst still looking the mutts!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love them though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFDMD Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Whistler are a budget wheel that have a similar design the the second picture. Also rota D2ex are a similar design to the top picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Whistler's are nicer than the JR version too, they're 5 hole rather than 9 or 10 hole multi-fit's. Great price too, but copies obviously I almost pulled the trigger on some but decided to take some extra time saving for something else Edit, Vaarstoen are also a similar make for reps and carry the same sort of range in good widths and offsets, but I don't think there's a UK supplier for them either Edited February 15, 2017 by jim (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
