It is a Breyton Race GTS-R, 18X7, 17 lbs, made in China copy of the BBS RG for half the cost.

You can have the same look with the Korean made ASA AR1 for half the cost of the Breyton but I would rather try to find a sub 15 lb wheel for the money.

same kind of look- but the pic i posted- they look so much different to me than the asa's....so much more space...minus the overplayed BMW look.

know of exact copies?

The ASA is a copy of the Breyton which is a copy of the BBS which in turn is a copy of the OEM BMW wheel.

If those are not enough, try the Enkei RPM2 in Hyper Black, my personal favorite in this design.

yes i agree with the RPMS2s! just didnt want to say it because its discontinued. they only seem to sell it on one website (not gonna tell!)

only thing about them that i dont like is that it doesnt look good in 17s with rubber... the rim itself looks soo clean

Who is passing this made in China stuff out? I'm hearing it on the bimmer forums too. I just got my GTS-R's today and they aren't made in China unless the Chinese are stamping Germany on the inside of the rim to fake us out
