    I never heard of them. They look like they have original designs, judging by their website (which has the most godawful techno music playing... ugh...) so that's a good thing. There are SO many cheap knockoff companies around these days that anytime I hear a brand name I don't recognize, I expect to see the usual crappy replica designs.

    Anyway, they seem decent, but their designs look way flashy for a CB7... Unless you have a crazy show car, I don't imagine any of those looking very good. That's really just my opinion, though.


    The company is American, but it appears that their wheels are made in China. At least the aluminum is... most likely the whole manufacturing process occurs there, though:

    Chinese products aren't known for the highest quality...

      I never heard of them either. While I do buy things from Hong Kong, they are aways products that are not Chinese made, and are just being sold at cost with minimal markup. Like my Euro R Recaro seats, or my Focal component speakers. Nothing against the Chinese, but they don't have to adhere to the strict safety standards and close tolerances that other countries need to. For example, I could buy a chinese made traction bar that looks just like ESP's for much cheaper, but I wouldn't feel safe with that thing on my car. Just like I'd personally have a hard time buying a set of rims to autocross with from a country other than Japan or the US.

      If they're just for looking better than stock, go for it. If you plan on racing or cornering hard etc, maybe think twice.

          That has absolutely nothing to do with this thread.

            Just make sure the rims you get from the US or Japan are actually made in those countries (I'd trust German as well... and the Desmond Regamaster Evo, also called the Spoon SW388, was made in Russia...)

            Many companies, such as this BZO, may outsource their production to countries that have little quality assurance.

              Very true. I was speaking from my own perspective, there are many good wheel brands out there, personally my favs are from Japan, made in Japan. It's when you come across a wheel brand that not many people have heard of that you need to do some research before buying. A good rule of thumb is that when buying new, if the price is cheap, the wheel is cheap.

                I won't even justify that question with an answer here. If you have questions like that, PM the member.

                  the reason i was asking is because i found this ad on craigslist and the wheels looked half decent.




                  and as you stated earlier about outsourcing you were right. i guess they outsource in a couple places like phillippines and china. but they are also "ISO 9001, TUV, JWL & JAWA CERTIFIED" so i guess there okay?

                    and the price is as much rota's, but from some research i was doing i guess the same people that produce bzo rims also produce rota, konig and drag.

                      rota and drag are cheap-shit knockoff brands as well. Konig is a bit better, but still not great (I currently have Konigs on my work car, because they were cheap, and they've taken quite a beating...)
