Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

30 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Was curious if anyone had any long term use with ESM Wheels. I know a ton of people are going to pull the "you get what you pay for card". But i don't feel like paying 4k for some BBS wheels. I have looked a tons of wheels and hate most of them. I want something for my 04 C4S. The turbo twist were nice for a while but i want something different. I had looked at the ESM 004M. For 1k for all 4 looks like a steal.

POST 2Original post

Get what makes you happy. Haters gonna hate. Post some pics of the wheels.

Also thought about these from Wheel Dynamics. The ESM set is about $1050 and Wheel Dynamics is $1400

Not on website. I emailed asking already

POST 7Original post

They look good, and they'll probably be fine if you're not going to track them. Buy what you like.

POST 8Original post

If you just cruise to C&C and the occasional back country road they will be fine. I wouldn't track them for sure, but heck I have seen factory Fuchs come apart at the track. So who knows for sure?

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 15582183

I have no intention on ever tracking the car. Maybe, just maybe i could see doing it once for fun. But i'm sure me as a driver wouldn't be able to push anything to the limits of failure.

POST 11Original post

I've run these ESM wheels for the last year and a half during the summer months. I was able to meet and chat with the owner this year and SEMA and he said he's just trying to offer some p-car guys with wheels that aren't 4k+ to run around town with. He also has a 996 that he drives, that purple 997 wasn't his, but rather a buddies car. Minnesota has terrible roads and I'm not looking to spend that much for wheels to get eaten up as a daily driver. I run a 15mm spacer in the rear and nothing up front, plus the car is lowered on H&R Springs. I'd recommend for sure and I'm waiting to see a set of their newly designed wheels on a 996 before I pulled the trigger.

POST 22Original post

I�ve got a set of 18� HRE 305M for sale in the marketplace. Willing to ship and will listen to reasonable offers. https://rennlist.com/forums/market/1119400

POST 23Original post

Uninspired rip off garbage. Almost every single one of their designs is a direct copy of a much better known, authentic, wheel design. APEX should be looked at for a competent low cost wheel that was made from the ground up to be relatively light weight, suitable for track and designed for 5x130. Finally, there are tons of OEM and aftermarket wheels for much less than $4k in the classifieds here.

Thanks for pointing them out. I just looked at the Apex SM 10 and really like them. I also noticed Apex has a group buy going on. They are already affordable, but with a group buy, looks like I'm in!

POST 25Original post

No bends and only minor curb marks. See pics: these are it & worst part of the wheels
