Man there is a new wheel company every day. Who is this company? Where are the wheels made? How are the wheels made? How does the quality compare to BBS, OZ, HRE, etc?

And who made bavarianx.com an authorized dealer of Hamann Motorsport GmbH? According to Hamann there is no such importer for the USA and they do it themselves. On the Hamann site it says under USA: Hamann Motorsport GmbH, Laupheim Germany.

Interesting, since Hamann has no importer on the website for the USA.
Wheel Power might buy parts at Hamann, but that doesn't make them an importer in general. They can't make you an authorized Hamann dealer, since they don't have the name rights. If they'd have, they would be listed on the Hamann website as the importer for the USA.

If Wheel Power Inc. is your partner, you are an authorized Wheel Power Inc. dealer.




Does Hamann knows you are using them, their name and their products and advertise you are an "authorized" dealer?


Sorry for asking, but we just don't want another D. Huang here...

Iceman Wheel Power is still very much an Authorized importer to the US, as well as Bavauto..now as for bavarianx I've never heard of.. All I can think of is Hamann forgot to imput the US importers when they updated their site..

They didn't forgot, trust me.

They don't have a general importer in the US...
And if Wheel Power buys parts from Hamann, that doesn't make them an importer, just a customer, and they don't have the right to claim beeing an "authorized" importer, nor can they give anybody else the right to use the name "authorized".........




Maybe I see the things a bit different after Dennis Huang, but this is really confusing me and lets some unanswered questions.

OK, let's say they are... What makes Bavarianx "authorized" when they buy from Wheel Power?

They could be an authorized Wheel Power dealer then...



And, BTW, if you don't care, fine.
But there's a reason that Hamann is not showing an importer on their official site, don't you think?
