    Bridgestone Aero copy?

    I picked these up yesterday, couldn't find much on them. Any wheel gurus know what I got myself into?

        Thanks, I know DTM is a wheel manufacturer but I failed at finding the model.
        If someone could smugly put up a lmgtfy.com link to an answer that'd be great. :)

              Sorry, my sig is as old as my account, the e30 was 3 cars and 4 sets of wheels ago.

              New sig would have this if I weren't lazy.


              I figured R3v would be a better home to figure this out than VWwhoretex.

                Booooo! Those wheels need to be on an E30!

                VW is pretty cool though.

                  But the wheels are going on an e30.
                  I picked them up for a friend who had bought my sportmaxxes. I told him I was buying these and he should sell the maxxes and buy these from me. I obviously didn't want to let them go to another home, so I swooped them up knowing one of my friends will buy them if he doesn't.

                        How do those look, since they are the high offset ones?

                        i was just going to say, are these the ones ESM copied?

                          The ESM wheels look awful on a car IMO, I hope these look better. At least in the pic I saw the ESM ones looked like the spokes were pretty rounded.

                            The ESM wheels look more like Compmotive TH's IMO.

                            Those looks like Bridgestone DTM's to me.

                              I think you have that backwards sir. Look at the ESMs and the bridgestones side by each. If you were to fill the esm logo and paint it they would be exactly the same
