I hope nobody minds us sharing...I just received some images courtesy of Good Roads in FL. This was a set of NUTEK 505 wheels ordered in a 3 color ceramic and matte black inners and chrome outers for a new M3 conv.

They look identical to Vorsteiner wheels.
Do you manufacture these for them?

 

they're very similar, the only difference i see is that the Vorsteiner 302 has additional fasteners between the spokes, plus instead of a pair of fasteners on either side of the spokes, the 302 has a single fastener in between the split spoke.

 

A rep. came out to my shop a few months ago with a sample wheel and they look very high quality. I have been getting a decent response from customers and I hope to see some on MI roads soon.

 

The images must have been from somewhere else because that is not Good Roads or even FL where the picture was taken. FL has no hills in the South.

 

Absolutley wrong color IMHO. Wheels may be good quality, but wrong choice for the car.

 

AWD, Telum01; Thanks for your feedback...regarding the V302, we originally designed and manufactured wheels for them, however they now have another supplier building their wheels. Most wheel companies have a split 5 spoke, so each company does what they can with the finish to make it different. We also have another split 5 spoke version called the 515 that has a little different detail on the machine work in the flange...attached is an image of the 515.

The colors on the wheels that Good Roads did consist of a Platinum Ceramic face, black ceramic windows, and a red ceramic flange accent. Working with the ceramic paint was something that a local paint supplier began offering a few years back...many of the local CA wheel companies use this painter, the only draw back is that it is expensive, not so much the paint, but the prep doing a 3 color combo is labor intensive and working with the ceramic it has to be done fast. The ceramic paint is like a teflon frying pan...it is somewhat a non stick finish reducing brake dust build up and it does not leave behind fingerprints, it is a matte finish that offers a unique look.

Thanks for the feedback.

The wheels were sold by Good Roads, and the pictures were sent to me by Hernan at GR, but they sold them wholesale to another shop I think or mail order to a customer? Not quite sure, but he was the one that we sold the wheels to and who I got the photos from.

Florida Hills are garbage, literally lol

 

Very nice.

 

i'll say i do like these more than the V302's because of the fastener placement. the 505's look much more clean. how structurally sound is the 505 compared to the V302? the V302 seems to have an advantage in the fastener placement being uniform across the rim, while the 505 has them grouped in five pairs.

 

Minus the red lip, they look nice...

 

The 505 still consists of 40 assembly bolts...the 505 is a semi hidden hardware construction, there are 10 fasteners with bolts and nuts, and 30 bolts that are hidden and threaded from the back side.

nice! thanks for filling me in

 

NP, thanks for the feedback and interest
