Awesome! That's good to know. Looks to me like there is zero difference...
nice, are you on 275's or 285's in this picture?Here are a couple of pics

have u got a side shot?Here are a couple of pics
Not sure what pics you're looking at. The spokes are clearly different.Awesome! That's good to know. Looks to me like there is zero difference...
what color are these MRR's?...they look darker than the gloss gunmetal.Here is a side view from today. My car is completely stock other than PP strut tower brace and lower k brace.
I believe these are SVE wheels, not MRR...but I could be wrong. It appears to me that the lug openings are larger as well, are those stock lug nuts on those wheels???what color are these MRR's?...they look darker than the gloss gunmetal.
awesome! I'm still trying to figure out how you got 19x11 305's all around lolJust a follow up. Tracked the car last night and banged plenty of curbs and rumble strips and the wheels amazingly held up ;)
I'm with Digital on this one. It looks like the SVE wheels have a "channel" in the rear of the spoke, I'm assuming this is to lighten the wheel up (could be wrong, just a guess).Not sure what pics you're looking at. The spokes are clearly different.
Oh, didn't realize we were talking about the backside of the wheel looking different...lol. Don't really consider that when saying the wheel "looks" the same.I'm with Digital on this one.

I'm starting to think there are likely design and metallurgical differences, it is a question of significance. Without some sort of standardization test, doubt you will be able to measure it.
I'm sure there is some NDT we can do as well while we are at it... x-ray or ultrasonic (or both, might as well be thorough).Oh, didn't realize we were talking about the backside of the wheel looking different...lol. Don't really consider that when saying the wheel "looks" the same.
I say we all pull our money together and end the debate once and for all. Buy one of each wheel, and we can send it to me. I will cut some samples off the spokes of each wheel and run tensile tests on them and take a Rockwell Hardness measurement of each sample. I'll also run the samples through XRD/XRF to run metallurgical composition of each wheel. Can also do a TRS 3 point bending or Charpy test to measure toughness HAHA We can probably pull 5-10 samples off each wheel I'd bet.
We can test it and answer the questions if we want to. Like anything else, all it takes is money lol
