Here is a pic of the real thing. Notice they have a nice polished lip, not a dull finish as seen in your pics. Also look closely at the stud design. One stud, then two studs followed all round the wheel. Yours is a single stud all round. Compare the pic of the black Hamann E70 to yours from the same angle. I hope you didn't get ripped off!
you are so smart dude !

the lip which u mentioned I asked them to make it like this ! I dont want the chrome look so they made it look like a steel(not like the stainless steel or chrome look) and about the stud , i asked them to make it all one in each part I dont like how it looks 2 then 1 !

you are so smart :p lol no im not ripped off :p I bought them from the hamann offcial dealer and all the paint job was made in a place called pit stop which also have the same owner of the hamann dealership.
The Pit Stop bit now I dont have any warrenty on the.

So you are saying you got a custom made set of Hamann Racing Edition wheels with a steel finish instead of the polished finish and a custom single stud design instead of their signature 2/1 stud design. Then you got them painted? I didn't know Hamann made custom wheels to your specs.

Again, those are not bad looking wheels, but sorry I'm still not convinced those are Hamann wheels! but if you say so ...

I have to agree with King. They do not look like original Hamann wheels.

Then again, maybe I am wrong.

Are they or aren't Hamann wheels?? Who cares!! They look great!!


The current Hamann wheels look different than the usual ones we see. However, AUU555 in the past has shown that he has a very individual taste.. statring with painting the original 20" wheels black and white!!

Enjoy your ride!
