New wheels finally came!!

Mbmw5 · 03-21-2014, 10:01 PM

Very excited that my new Velos 21" Solo V wheels finally came after 12 weeks. Ugh. What a wait!! Will post more pics once they are on the car.

SuckaGDog · 03-21-2014, 10:20 PM

Did they say why it took that long?

Mbmw5 · 03-21-2014, 10:39 PM

They just said that the front 21 x 9.5 forgings were delayed. At the end of the day they are giving me a little credit being that it took 8 additional weeks.

Thanks. Nope not a daily but if it's sunny I'm driving it. 👍

Did they happen to tell you what company makes their wheels?

Mbmw5 · 03-23-2014, 09:07 AM

They didn't but check out the attached. Identical specs as the HRE P104. They are almost exactly the same. I'm not sure what the HRE'S would of cost but I paid $4500 including shipping.

Btw funny you asked who makes their wheels as I have been wondering the same.

I really don't get how you can put a knock-off wheel on a car you bought north of $100K.

Velos is probably just another Florida based wheel company trying to make it big.

I would've stuck with a reliable wheel company, like any of the Japanese brands or even HRE, BBS and *maybe* ADV.1.

If you can't afford those then I'd save the money until you can.

I would never pay 8k for wheels again even if I can afford it.

I would find a wheel design that I like and a good supporting company with proper wheel certifications.

I bought adv1's a few years back and they made the wrong specs. I had to pull my fenders. It's really not about the price since these wheels are manufactured by MHT in California. Then adv1 marks up the price.

Great wheels op. they are close to the p44sc but there's a little difference. I have them on the m3 so I can tell.

It's very simple, Velos is a good name and backs their product. This isn't some knock off as you call it. The fact is I can afford HRE's but made a choice not to go with them. Besides it's not your car so mind you own business. Why is it there are a lot of cool guys on this site that you can share information with then you have the dicks??? Comment back if you like but after this post I won't acknowledge you. Your dead to me!!!!! Lmao.

Nice wheels. Cant wait to see them on car.

i know it's your car... you can put any sort of garbage wheels you want.

just posting up my $0.02 so just chill bro.

SuckaGDog · 03-23-2014, 10:42 PM

Wow not a bad price, if they are made by HRE. I was thinking ADV.1 since they are both located in Florida it just made more sense to me.

Wheels look great though. Love to see mounted pics!

LACSTER · 03-24-2014, 10:51 AM

Very nice choice!

How did you come to the conclusion that they're made by HRE? I can't in any way image that.
