My Ride: 2009 W211
Model Year: 2017
They're almost identical to the Bavaria BC-10 or Nutek 710 and the founder of Nutek was the former owner of HRE wheels. Currently, Nutek wheels are priced around $1500 a set. I wouldn't knock the quality because of the wheels based solely on price. Remember Sevas? Pimp ass expensive wheels. What happened to them? Too many Sevas owners had their wheels crack and what not. My JAZ Triumph (Breyton Spirit reps) were on my E60 for 5+ years and I've hit potholes in KTown, DTLA, and La Jolla, and the wheels haven't bent on me once. Just my .02. Lot of benz guys run Rohana wheels I believe. I think they're fine.

@arctic-rodz
Not apples to apples here.
Wheels can be made cheaply and fail (or have higher rates of failure compared to more expensive wheels with better materials in the manufacturing process).
Cheap wheels are the way to go if you are willing to increase weight, dont care about the increased potential for failure and DEF if you don't plan to show up to meets where real car guys will (rightfully) turn their nose up at you lol
it canbe tough bc sometimes you just want some wheels w/o breaking the bank....but be careful, new companies/cheap wheels might leave you wishing you just saved up a bit longer

agreed here. seems like whenever i try to cheat the system and go cheaper, i regret it, not saying don't do it, just make sure you do your homework and read the reviews from actual owners
