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!

thanx

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

Definitely NOT Hamann Race, I have a set of the 23s on my car. You point out all the correct facts. Will post pics of the real deal on my car this weekend. At the end of the day your rims look great but it does not make any sense to spend big dollars to modify the original design of the Hamann Race, still call them Hamann Race but effectively change every design feature of the wheel... they are not Hamann Race. Maybe made to order from Hamann, but they aint Race's... whatever they are they still look great. Congrats.

Looks like more than one person called his bluff! Funny thing the OP still won't admit they're NOT Hamann. Instead he insists that they were customized. Hamann doesn't make custom wheels! And you certainly can't take the race edition to a shop and have them change the bolts around the flange and lip on the wheels after they have been built! They also have a concave look unlike the real thing. Why try and pass them for something they're not??

Looking forward to pics of the real thing Harold996tt ...

While Im convinced they're knockoffs (I have no problem with knock offs!) I think the ride looks GREAT!!! Congrats on a job well done

The finish on the centres of my Hamanns were interestingly different to those on the M5 pictured in that mine are textured matt black finish.

Also the wording on the forged centres says Edition Race on the left side and Hamann on the right, unlike those on the M5 pictured.

Noted this when they arrived and the Hamann dealer pointed this out to me as did my buddy who has 20's on his 7 series and his Lambo Gallardo.

I love these rims so much (but they are darn heavy!!!) that I intend on getting them for my Porsche as well- in the matt black finish of course!!!

If you look at my rims, the centres as I mentioned before are now finished matt black and textured. Also the wording on the spokes has changed... but these are the real deal...
