    What is a better quality wheel: Konig Remembers or ESM 002???

    I am looking at getting bbs rs replica wheels and have been considering getting either 16" konig remembers or 16" ESM 002's. What are your guys opinions about each one and which would be a better choice? Wish I could afford the real RS but just don't have that kind of dough.

    remembers look like shit IMO. esm wheels look good.

    that's really all it comes down to when choosing fake wheels. they all weigh a ton, and take moderate abuse.

      If you are considering replica rs's, then you are about half way to saving up for a real set of rs's. Save your money until you have exactly what you want. You will regret buying replicas.

        Even though they dont look AS good as bbs, they still look good, and an extra thousand dollars can buy an e30 a lot.

          I always found it odd that the remembers only came in 16x7 and for that reason, I would go with the esm's 16x7.5. I think that the esm's look better as well.

            It wouldn't surprise me if they were made in the same factory in SE Asia somewhere.

              They're both a cast wheel of questionable quality.

                I've seen both sets in person and they both look good as far as reps go. It is nice that a set of remembers go for about 500$ were a refinished set of RS's can be as much at 2k. So curbing a 125$ remember isn't going to ruin your day as much.

                  yah i want to build my own bbs and by the time i find 16x7 centers, redrill, spacers then lips, glue, powder coat, and finally be ballin. I want to achieve all of this for around 2gs so if your on a budget reps can be worth it.

                    I was going to mention this. They are most likely made in the same factory with slightly different shaped molds.

                        I like my remembers.
                        Never had a problem with them. Their quality seems pretty good for me. But then again I paid next to nothing for them.


                        But whatever floats your boat I guess.

                          honestly on my DD i will rock reps only because i would go full retard if i fucked up a real BBS.

                          ive had reps before and never had a issue on my DD that i beat the crap out of.

                            I prefer the look of the ESM although the quality I would say is similar.
