Sneak Peek of New, Up and Coming Wheel company
I can't say what wheel company these wheels are from but they are brand new. I have been sponsored and after three months my wheels are complete and on their way to my house. I took a few photos of the wheels when I was in LA and they will definitely rival HRE's product in detail and quality. I have a photo shoot set up for Tuesday night I can share after the shoot.

So many new wheel companies are just marketers/distributors. Pretty much all wheels are cut by a few companies such as MHT or Rennen. You'll pardon my indifference to yet another one.

Come on. Sponsored vehicles are heavily modified vehicles, not stock ones. There is one stipulation and I will get to that below. My old 02 NSX and 01 S2000 were fully sponsored cars from Endless USA and Work USA back in 2004. Made it in Super Street magazine in 2005 and Import Tuner in 2004. That was how they recognized my cars. I had to sign contracts and everything. I would never be sponsored with my stock X5 in the tuner world. UNLESS, they gave you a huge deal or let you have the wheels for free on your X5 to just showcase? Rival HRE? Very interesting. From the picture they look good. Standing by for full shots.

Not a full sponsorship. Not totally stock. Yes, their had to be some stipulations. Had to be lowered. Had to be a x5MMM. They were looking for select vehicles to showcase their product and get it out there.

The wheels look good, who is cutting them from the blanks?

they look nice enough, I might have thought they were better but when you start comparing to HRE before you have put out a wheel you set the bar too high.

If you know the background of Tru Wheels you would compare them to HRE too. Later down the road, you will see. Besides 38lbs for 22x12 wheel Cmon However it is true that they don't have the selection that HRE offers... Yet
