Are Concept One CSL5.5's a replica?
 

Just wondering if the wheels I bought a few months ago are replicas's of another wheel?

Here's a pic:

Spec's are 19x9 +15 Front and 19x10.5 +20 Rear.

Have you mounted them yet?

Yea kinda I guess... Forgeline GA3R's.

BBSs

:dunno:

Doesn't look like it as the spokes are too convex to be forgeline or BBS's.

No they are not mounted... still in the boxes.

They are split 5 spoke. I am sure they are simliar to some wheels out there. Only so many things you can do to make a wheel different and still look good :)

Bingo

They do look similar to those.

^ This.

Pretty much every wheel out there is a copy of something else, with or without subtle changes.

At least they aren't varrstoens lol

They look really good IMo

I think they look fantastic actually.

A direct replica from the original mold is one thing. A wheel that resembles another, but isn't a direct replica is different. If you like the wheel and know that it is of quality construction then you shouldn't have to worry about the fake vs authentic debate.

Agreed!

All I know is that I have never seen anything like them before and had to have them. The matte black inner spokes with gloss black step lips are defiantly different.

Let's hope they look good on PPW so I can finally join the fat tire thread. ;)

They look nice to me, update us when you get them mounted since hardly anyone has them at this point

I want a set for my Aristo!

Thanks and I will once I get back into the job market... being laid off sucks. I have done a lot of searching and I don't think many people have these at all and if they do they haven't posted pics.

Here's a crappy teaser pic from my test fit:
