Love that you went through with it. Most people on the forum have square heads.
And yes, they look super sexy and hot.

1800 wheels (shipping included)
850 tires
600 (installation and alignment)
1800+850+600=3250😊😊

$600 to mount/balance tires? 🤯

Nice price, my only question would be the quality of the metal used.

Has there been any torture tests done on these? Bashing them into a massive pothole at like 100mph? or ?

Lol 😂 I am really sorry I won't be able to do that testing. You never test a new thing by bashing it or trying to break it.

Yeah it was from Butler Tires. It's little expensive but they had to take out TPMS from old wheels and fit in the new ones.

They are the best for aftermarket wheel fitment. The alignment was all 4 wheel alignment which was around 195.

Considering you life kinda depends on the wheels, I would be.


Maybe someone local has an ultrasonic hardness tester, no damage like the impact ones. Would put it in the ballpark of what metal was used.

As I mentioned earlier it's all about trust and faith. Just because they came from China does not mean it's of bad quality.

If the same wheels would have delivered by HRE from the same vendor and higher price, then it would have been appreciated.

You know what, you are absolutely right.

Resellers from China and that sell direct to customer on Fleebay, Alibaba, Xpress, are known for been truthful, honest and striving in delivery the best quality products. Often exceeding the quality standards of the products they copy. None have every lied about their products.

Wheels came out super nice, definitely going to check out the vendor.

Though it will take almost a month and a half to reach but hopefully worth a wait.

Any feedback or any suggestions if anyone ordered them.

Let us know how they turn out. Everything I have ever bought from Alibaba has been sub-standard. My last mistake was to buy 'real' carbon fiber kits. In the end, it was not close to the original M Performance one's I have so ended up just throwing them away! They look great in pictures but the QA isn't there. But you might luck out.

Someone I know bought duplicates of B&W speakers for the G05 and they were trash as well.

You can get some good rims from China, but also tons of rubbish and when you want to claim/ send back...heard more negative than positive.

If anyone wants UP TO 30% off HRE, I can get it for you. I got a dealer account. Probably close to what OP paid for FF depending on if HRE has a sale or not. I think my last set I got during their sale last December for NYE was $2200 all in for 20"

What's your feedback after some time using them? Thanks

WOW! nice catch. They look like a legit custom wheel shop, just from the factory images. The wheels the OP got look hot!!!

It happens when the OEM cuts back on orders and the company has excess capacity. However, many also sell products that failed OEM quality checks on Alibaba. For high-precision products that is the case usually.

Then there are just replica companies.

Basically, it is a risk. You can get an OEM product that is exactly the same, you can get an OEM product that failed some quality test but might not matter to you, and you can get a lower-quality replica...

I bought an Apple Watch link bracelet once. The seller claimed it was exactly the same as OEM, but without the Apple branding. When I got it, because I also had the real Apple Watch link bracelet, there were many small differences like the clasp didn't open and close as smoothly and removing each link was much harder and there were subtle differences in the finish. Was it a good value for the money? Sure. But it wasn't exactly the same as they claimed.

However, getting back to the OP. I think your wheels look amazing.

I am curious to follow up on quality, it's been a little more than 6 months since OP install. It should be very easy to damage those wheels even if they were official HRE, considering how low the profile is. Unless Singh barely drives it or is extra cautious, I am sure he has some updates from these crazy winter roads. And if I know my Sikhs they like to party and have fun, at least my friend Navneet does !

Going back to an image the OP shared from the Alibaba vendor, I was also sent videos by vendor " Phoenix Guo" from Tianjin Dunhui Co., Ltd. which says their factory name is Jiang Lu auto parts LTD. But it seems hard to trust whether these videos are floating around from vendor to vendor to use and impress. It's hard to pull the trigger, Kudos to you OP.

Would you do it again? please update =)

[kpsingh07]

Yes sir they are going great. As a matter of fact this thing worked wonders for me as I started my own buisness getting the best wheels of any design with any configuration from the same vendor. I already got few buyers with carbon fiber parts and fully forged wheels. Yes I drive my beast everyday.

[sheikh2]

This is really good to hear. It helps me feel comfortable biting down on the bullet and ordering via Alibaba. The two vendors I am talking to are
Jiangsu Guangwei Forging Co., Ltd., and the other is Tianjin Dunhui Trading Co., Ltd.

I think I am going to go with Jiangsu. Did you go with Jiang and did you pick Air or Sea shipping?

If you can wait go for sea shipping. It takes 1-2 months. Mine was sea shipping and it reached in almost 50 days. If you order more than 1 set go for air shipping. Last month I ordered 5 set of wheels which was all air shipping. Those reached in 12 days.
Its your wish how much you can wait.
