Does anyone else make these?

I'm looking at wheels, and this style has caught my eye. The BSA's are from Ebay and the Nexo's are from wheelmaxx. I have not heard very good things about either company so I was wondering if anyone else made this style. I assume these 2 companies copied the design from someone, but I can't figure out who. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Jason

Koya wheels out of Australia makes those. I don't know if the wheels sold here are knockoffs or just rebadged, but I've been looking at those same wheels in 18x7.5. At different sites they are available in hyper black, bronze, gunmetal, bright silver, and black. I've seen them as R1 and R2 Racing wheels, Nexo, Koya, and others. At Koya's site they are pictured on a few different vehicles. The best price I've found is at Wheelmax; low 900.00 range , including hankook tires, with their rebate of 125.00. I've been quoted anywhere from 23 to 27 pounds on these so they're about the same weight as stock s-lites. Hope this helps answer your question, I just wish I could hear of someone who has bought from wheelmax or has these wheels!

I don't have that wheel, but I did buy my Exel wheels from WheelMax. I purchased the wheels from them before I started reading these threads about "don't buy from WheelMax" and etc. If I would have read the info being passed around, I more than likely wouldn't have ordered from them. But, I didn't, so order from them. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I placed the order on Saturday, had the wheels by Thursday. I ordered the mounting kit that was offered, but received a call on Tuesday stating that because of my MINI's wheel bolt size (the 06 oddball bolt) that they weren't able to provide the lug nuts as ordered. They promptly refunded my money for the wheel mounting kit, but installed the valve stems for me at no charge. They even gave me recommendations on where to find the lug bolts that I would need to mount the wheels. For the price that I paid for the wheels, and the service I received from WheelMax, I would not hesitate to order from them again.
