One Speedmaster model looks like SSR Competitions, but with more color options and without the machined rim.



According to Vick at WheelOptions they are "gravity cast" .... whatever that means. For one thing, it means the SSR dupes are heavier than the originals by 4 pounds each (16.9 lbs for the 17s). On the other hand, I think the Gram Lights are also gravity cast, so a Speedmaster duplicate of a Gram Light might be a near-perfect copy minus some of the cost.
