There is a euro rim maker that produces these, who is it? I think the company's name starts with an S. The rims are like $2000-$3000 each.

Lorinser is the manufacturer, note the wheel design is quiet old been in production since 2001 after the unveiling of the Vision SLR concept.

It should be not the 2-piece rim LM6 from Lorinser, I believe it´s the 1-piece rim T845 from Alustar. Lorinser does not allow other tuners to promote their rims.

There are two more companies make wheels that are copies of them..

ACE wheels, which come with a larger dish, and are a great quallity wheel and a set of 4 19" wheels with tyres is about £1500-£1600 sterling.

ALso BOSS wheels make a copy of this design, but they are not as high quality but are also priced cheaper.

Velocity Motoring makes them too - JLevi carries them - $699 for the set:

Ah, yes Lorinser is who I am thinking of...not the S...

I wonder if they make a left and right side so the blades are facing in the right direction...

Thanks!

I agree. Looks sweet and classic. The package is very complimentary. Nice job!
