Because it would be polite to explain rather than just throwing up a link and an opened ended statement...

False.
They apparently copied Vorsteiner's designs, though.

I would have to agree since I know where they are made and is not Nutek.

pdjafari · 03-09-2009, 02:55 PM

hmm, so Vorsteiner had enough capital to suddenly invest in wheel manufacturing of multi piece forged wheels....

Highly unlikely...typically companies who specialize in body mods/engine mods similar find a true wheel company to create a 'vendor specific' wheel for them. I completely doubt they put up hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions to open/operate/design wheels considering only 3-5 guys on various forums even own their wheels...

Nobody said that. However their wheels are not made by Nutek.

Also, it's kind of funny, because what kind of machinery do you think it takes to make a mold for a body part? Vorsteiner doesn't make their wheels in house but they have the types of equipment used to cut centers. And nobody in this industry makes their own barrels. They all buy them from a number of manufacturers (all the bigger companies buy them from Triangle Alloys).

Just food for thought.

McLuVan · 03-09-2009, 07:53 PM

I thought DPE made vorsteiner's wheels....

JB335 · 03-09-2009, 09:31 PM

If Nutek, did in fact copy Vorsteiner, prosecuting shouldn't be tough, considering they are a US company.

Autobot · 03-10-2009, 04:44 PM

I wonder what the pricing difference is

FrankiE90 · 03-11-2009, 04:14 AM

wow, almost the same.
I needed to see them side by side or top and bottom.

lol. there is a lot more in common than split, 5 spokes.

And for the record, No, I dont think vorsteiner was the first designer of their wheel.
