AME isnt a copy of any of the designs. It has similar to a twist but doesnt make it a knock off of WEDS. AME wheels are produced by ENKEI witch makes alot of wheels for other companies in japan. Alot of wheel companies have similar things. If you put them close to each other its not the same. I cant say about all there designs but they are quality product that has been tested and proven. Not everyone is going to like a wheel company but if you like it go for it.

Well in no particular order. But I can think of a few off the top of my head I would put in front of AME. River-Side, Super Star, Auto Couture, Junction Produce, Amistad, SSR (Vienna, Fabulous), Weds, Work. I mean dont get me wrong I like AME wheels, I think they have some pretty good designs even I would roll on them. But I just wouldn't put them in my Top 5. Thats just my opinion :P

lol, good thing you put that disclaimer

AME is nice but it's not in my Top 5, just because to me they're like the "radio edit" of Japanese Luxury wheels, I like mine a little bit more outrageous when possible.

I agree with Elite. AME wheels are nice. They look great on Pancakes' car. I've had a set of LX, now I have a couple AX kicking around.

I have put my Weds and AME AX side by side and the Weds have details that set them apart.

One of the biggest problems is the price. AME wheels are pretty cheap compared to the other brands listed due to them being 2 piece. Combine that with easier access to them in North America and they are becoming more common. If you want a wheel that is more exclusive, don't get AME wheels.

Ame's are great, and they are not that cheap. You guys make it sound like they are some ebay ADR DRAG wheels. :) . They are far from it.

See what yokota's has done? he single handedly made AME wheels seem cheap! =)

I agree with this. AME makes some nice wheels but the details are not there. You wont really notice in pics but in person you can tell which is the more expensive wheel by the details. If your going for a more simple design and dont need a 3 peice wheel since your offsets and widths are not that big, then AME is perfect for you.

I agree that they are low in cost, but they're not a 3 piece forged wheel, which is why the higher brands usally cost more and I can atest that these wheels (at least mine) are STRONG as hell!!!!
I've hit some nasty bumps and they're still good as NEW! =)

FINALLY- No one on this fourm is VIP god or know it all and has the final say as too what's VIP or not! Grant is in his own world and has his own way of doing things and Elepres has jus been doin this for awhile now! Neither one should be anybodies goal or motivation to get accepted by! Do you SON! If you like it Coo, If you don't F*** IT! Your always gonna have haters that don't like what you have or doin! :biggthumpup:

So it being cheap is the deciding factor for you? Didn't someone mention AME being cheap in this thread? If they raise the price would that satisfy you? Exactly what kind of standards are accecptable for you? Knock-off kits but expensive wheels?:shrug:

i personally dont run knockoff kits, but i run cheaper kits in some cases.

BUt they arent a replica of anything (that i run)

so my standard is, dont buy an AME, becuase you like the look of weds bazria (sp?) but dont wanna pay the price

weds i THINK retail in teh US for like 2800? or some shit
i dunno, i just sell them at whatever i deem fair.

regardless, 6-800 less is what AME are.


where can i get a set of weds for 2800? i havent been quoted anywhere near that. i think the lowest i got was closer to 4k.

I don't see how anyone can mistake Bazreia's for WX's. They have distinct differences and both look good.

yokota's I don't think you know what u are talking about.

the bazeria and the wx's are completely different styles, the only similarities they share are them being 6 spokes.
