For those of us who don't care about brand names for our daily drivers, ESR has good looking wheels at an affordable price, what's not to like... Go ESR..
I agree
I agree they make beautiful show car rims at affordable prices
I'd have to disagree, if you try to enter a car show and on your list of mods you list ESR as your wheels.... you probably won't get accepted lol. They make some good looking wheels for a daily driver thats not a show car or a race car. If you sit a authentic Work wheel next to the replica ESR wheel it becomes painfully obvious which is the replica, likewise if you're looking to build a race car regardless of it being a drag, autocross, or anything where performance and weight savings are essential then you're are also not going to consider a set of ESR wheels. Don't get me wrong they're great at doing what they are meant to do, which is look good on a budget daily build.
KZNEvoX Allthough, as a fun thing... Go to two different car shows, but pop off the ESR centercaps for the second one. Then lets see how many people really know wheels😂
KZNEvoX I’ll have to disagree with you i have ESR rims and the car was accepted to simply clean 9. It’s about how you represent them.
bought a set of SR-05s for my lexus. i love the look and get a lot of compliments. the haters online can suck it
Same bro I've got the gunmetal sr05 on my 2nd gen is350
So this is where idubbbz have been
I'm late but this is gold 😂😂😂
Lots of wheels snobs here that seem to be interested in putting $5,000 wheels on cars that are worth about $8,000.
Unless you’re racing IMSA, I’m not sure what the point is.
Cool guy, those HRE’s look great in the Walmart parking lot on your 2010 A4....
Nothing wrong with ESR. Nice video. Thanks for the info.
I feel like at this point it’s like actual shoes. Sure I can buy some overpriced Jordan’s for 300 bucks just because of the BRAND..
or I can just buy some normal shoes that do the same shit.
People will kill for a brand name and it’s just stupid. I’ll go to esr pick up their original wheel since I don’t like the replica ones either and save a grand for more mods
well there's the thing called safety as well.. sure if you just daily drive it should be fine.. keyword "SHOULD" but a lot of these cheaper wheels would probably not pass any certifications or never even tried doing them at all that's why they are cheap.
And what's fucked up is that some of these cheaper manufacturers claim they have their wheels tested and certified.. when its not. that's what you can call fake wheels I guess.
erickrayos but thats where you’re wrong about ESR. Dont dismiss all “replica wheels” as untested, cheap wheels. They have a hidden parent company based in the US that makes 3pc wheels etc. look at their website under their about us.
ESR also has a structural lifetime warranty. Why would you give a lifetime warranty to a wheel if you dont stand behind its structural integrity.
Sure, other brands fake records and are there to make cheap replica wheels with super cheap material etc, but ESR has a different story,
If it only WAS A GRAND and not close to 3 grand for works wheels
Hi! We're giving away a set of ESR wheels if you didn't happen to know!
www.fitmentindustries.com/fi-giveaway/esr-giveaway.php
Captain Karma Couldn’t agree more! These wheels look amazing and hold up GREAT. Better than a lot of other wheels at the price point and OVER I’ve seen. Personally, my all time favorite wheels are TE37’s but cmon now, 3500 dollars for a set of wheels?! That’s boost money or pieces of my stroker kit! Personally, my next set are going to be the TE37 reps with maybe the brand name painted into a spoke because fuck people lol
To help anyone questioning the validity of ESR Wheels: Although they’re a fairly new brand, they are actually owned by a parent company called Brixton Forged. If you don’t know them, you should. They make one of the best 3-piece wheels money could buy. It gives you a lot of reassurance on if you should trust ESR wheels because of this. They also offer pretty good warranties that are covered by Brixton Forged as well
ESR ❤️ BRIXTON FORGED ❤️
I have been dealing with ESR for two years now and I got to first say their quality is on point for a rep company. They're the first rep wheel I offer to customers due to their price, and quality. Not to mention their customer service is better than most cast wheel companies. I am very excited to see their new two piece wheel line up.
They are good wheels for sure. Def one of our most recommended as well :D
I have a set of esr sr02. Love them and still going strong after daily driving
one of my esrs was damaged while hitting a train track once, it was a very hard hit and the wheels had only a small bend, no cracks. and was easily repaired.
Just bought some SR07s to replace my Rota Grids since I couldn't find a single replacement for one of my bent wheels, that wasn't over priced. Thanks for the video and keep them coming.
I wanna punch this guy in the face.... who would say that? this dude is dope as hell!
I wanna punch him sometimes too... -Mario
Yeah, seriously why? This is the most honest wheel anything I have seen and or read. Love your face.
I've had a set of ESR SR02s on my Accord for two years now. They've been durable for daily use and no bends of cracks. They're nice wheels for what they are and constantly get crapped on by elitists simply for not being a popular name brand.
I've been happy with my set and they look fantastic on my Accord!

ChaosFox I was thinking about picking up a pair as well. I'm working on my first car, and just installed coils. Thx for the info !
I run esr sr07 on my 700hp 350z and they are really strong they are ome of the best wheels for such a low price
Really want SR02’s for my 09 WRX hatch. Feel like it would complete it
J D not an accord owner but what’s wrong with an accord? An underrated car that can be a grocery getter. So what’s the issue? What are you driving?
I love my esr"s I've had 2 sets and I've have had no problems and they look really good
I just got the esr sr08 in copper chrome. I absolutely love the color and quality. They are heavy but I love them!
What'd you get them on!?
Dude..your vids are awesome! And I love your editing style!
Thanks a lot, Mike! I try :D - Mario
I purchased wheels from ESR about 4 years ago and honestly they look great. if you take care of them correctly they will last you a long time. although I recently found out that one of my rim has a small crack. No big deal seeing that I do drive my car in LA and the streets are not that great. another issue I have with ESR is the Clear coat is coming off and I may have to get them redone.
Just bought some esr SR08 18x9.5 for my turbo tiburon. Can't wait to install
My dad used to have one THABK you for the reminder of more simple times
Man im loving this series. Is funny, creative and intellectual. Keep it up guys.
Thanks man!
I have Esr Sr08 wheels on my 2015 Subaru Wrx in matte bronze and am super happy with how they look and how strong they are.
Add it to our gallery and we will shout you out!

How about STR? (;
I like how you guys aren’t wheel elitists. You guys do even coverage of all wheel brands. Big or small 👍🏼
Got STR coming soon! Thank you
I run esrs on both my e36s and they are awesome. I beat the shit out of the ones on my proam car and they take it like it’s nothing. My buddy actually lost a tire during a run and just kept drifting on the bare rim and it still mounts tires tires like it did when he bought it. Would recommend.
I have had the SR13 on my z for a bit now and it has held up really well. I think it also says something abt esr by the fact they also make 3 piece forged wheels. i have hit many nasty bumps and potholes and they have held up. The set i have actually went up in price since i bought them so i guess i lucked out. I think this also says something about the company itself and the quality. Im now looking at rotary forged/flow formed wheels to replace my esr because the weight is definitely the biggest issue with esr cast wheels.
Personally I would buy esr or any other replica wheel for daily use or for the winter. And get a set of work, volk, or bbs for the summer use and shows.
I agree.
Also makes it really easy to keep your nice set clean and ready to bolt on!
Also, ESR has the MOST GORGEOUS COPPER CHROME WHEELS, I just can’t justify giving up my boring bbs rc’s for them because of the weight increase.
I've had a set of sr02s for 2 years now and have held up great. I've hit a few major potholes and have held up like a tank!
Im probably going to pick up a set for my car but thats what im worried about damaging the wheels since there's alot of potholes in my town.
@@ironbloodedmyth1204 did you end up doing it? how are they holding up if so?
I’ve had bought a set of sr02s from esr for my daily and loved them for the price I then sold them for a set of wci wheels which I sold and bought another set of “rep” esrs again cause I loved em so much lol
Drop your car in our gallery man! www.fitmentindustries.com/add
I have ESR SR-08s on my Genesis and I must say I am surprised by the quality. I backed into a curb at about 15mph (to much angle drifting a corner) and hopped up the curb onto the grass and the wheels held up. I was expecting to break/bend them and they had no issues. I was running a 35 series side wall too.
Drop some pics in our gallery man!

For my daily rears I love ESR and for my beefy rears is use weld 💯
I bought a Soarer with SR04s and i get tons of compliments and they look pretty good, I’m not complaining.

Awesome video, thanks for the information. Will consider it!
I have been running ESR wheels since the birth of the company now. I absolutely love their wheels. Very durable for the price point. Have never had an issue. Not shitting on a company like XXR but I just feel like they have a bit more premium feel to them. So I would recommend them over a lot of the other entry level wheel brands
Glad they’re still treating you well fam! Which model did you go with? And is your car up on the gallery?! -Edgar
www.fitmentindustries.com/add-wheel-offset
do you guys ship to australia? i like the look of these wheels and they have a good name so far in the car community subbed btw
They look really good but I’ve got BBS RC’s which are kinda boring but I can’t justify the weight increase to get cool wheels.
I’m planning on buying esr sr02 but I want to drift the car do you still think I should buy them?
I want to pick up some 19 inch staggered equips for my MKIV supra and money isn’t an issue but finding those wheels is so might go with the esr for now
I actually really think the guys over at ESR, are super dope and they make quality products over there! When your ready we got you on your next set for the Supra check out what we have! bit.ly/2yk1oW8
And now they actually have some really nice 3 piece Wheels!
How about making making a video on Racing Hart Wheels? I use to love the C2 model.
Sure!
Thanks for these educational videos! Definately getting to know which brands are quality and which are not
I can't even aford the wheels that you're talking about. I just love fast machines and the art behind them. I like how you explain and discuss things so keep going on fuck the haters.
I have SRO1’s on my BMW 325xi but I bought them when I was a broke college kid. I wanted to buy Work VSXX’s but I just dumped $30,000 for tuition so that obviously wasn’t going to happen. They look nice and hold up very well. I live in Colorado where it snows a lot and haven’t had any problem with them
DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS 😉🖤
Well a set of ESR sr01 18×9.5+35 and 18×10.5+22 will fit on a base c5 corvette???
Had a set of ESR SR05s on my Jetta for a little bit, and I liked them. I also don't agree with the fake rivets, but hey, they looked damn good.
They don't look bad! Add your car to our gallery man! www.fitmentindustries.com/add
Fitment Industries Lol I would, but I don't have those ESRs anymore 😭. I got a set of Fifteen52 Tarmacs now that actually have better fitment then the SR05s did. Still miss them tho.
Hello, I’m new to the car scene and have a question. Since Esr wheels have originals and reps as what I’ve seen from another comment, how do you know which wheels are originals and which wheels are reps?
So why does the websites filter still not work? Example I filter with offsets (+20-+25) and get all sorts of random offsets. Not trying to scroll thru every single wheel option when only looming for specific offsets.
I picked up a set of FR2s for my girlfriends BMW X2 (hyper black), she doesn't want wheels, she doesn't care about upgrading her wheels. However, I think the crossover thingy, hatchback ma-jig.. could really use them. The stock wheels are busy and look like crap, it was the first thing I complained about to the salesman. But, because I already blew my load on HRE's for my M4, these budget wheels fit the bill, it checked all my gf's non existing boxes, that I created, out of nothing. They are priced right, they look damn good and are going to make the X2 look waaay more sleek and sporty. So, for me its a win win. Will the paint peel off after being in the Arizona sun for 6 months? Maybe, but thats a risk I'm willing to take. Are they knock-offs of BBS and HRE's? Yeah, so what.. I'm glad I found these before I pulled the trigger on some not so good looking wheels from some other who knows brand from tirerack for pretty much the same price.
Long story short patience pays off in the end 😂
i had esr wheels on my subie very clean look for the price probably gonna grabbed a forged pair for my maxima
Sounds wild, You should upload your ride to our gallery sometime! bit.ly/2obqAZQ
I jave ESR SR09's 19x9.5 and I occasionally drive a little hard on my daily route to and from work, the seem to hold up at speeds and I have tiny 225/35zr19 stretched to the limit on those 9.5in wheels yeah theyre a good rep company in my eyes
Came back to this video, esr has grown insanely well in the past years there rotary forged wheels look amazing the 3piece you can’t go wrong
I have a set of ESR SR06 on my car and I love them! I really don't care for brand names. Plus I drive a slammed corolla, im not gonna go and spend a bunch of money on wheels for a corolla.
Lol same, i just want some decent rims that won't break the bank for the daily.
Could you report on wheel weight range for the ESR RF2? I'm looking at the 18X9 et30 5X120 BMW fitment
Great suggestion, If you like we actually have a team of people who can help you with this! Just shoot us an email at shop@fitmentindustries.com !
Whats the durability behind these wheels? About to order a set for my daily but before doing so need to know if they hold their own im over in the horrid east coast sooo….
Was tole by esr that the sr05 18.8.5 are 21pds so not to heavy
Do blitz tuning Japan wheels. They had some awesome designs but discounted there wheel line and i can’t seem to find any info why
We'll see what we can find!
MyTire Debeaded on the freeway it cracked and holds air still👌🏼👌🏼🙂
question is how stretched were you and were you keeping an eye on your tire pressure frequently?
This brand seems like one of the few cheaper brands that offers custom drilling (as far as i know) Which is great. Just got a C4 corvette and NOBODY makes wheels for that bolt pattern but with ESR its like a 6 week wait and an extra 60 bucks or so per wheel. Makes it super easy
I took larger oem wheels and put them on my car. I have a 05 Cadillac deville and I put 05 18x8 51 offset Cadillac STS 1sg wheels on my deville. I had the wheels Powder coated a color shifting metallic. When the sun hits them they are just rainbows of bright metallic colors. And when the sun isn’t hitting them they have a metallic purplish dark gray look to them. Really sharp looking. Now I just gotta get my coilovers installed and then the real high dollar stuff starts like new paint and rebuild the motor etc. I put rep bbs rs on the 05 sts. Color matched the the wheel to the body, polished lip with silver face.
What would be the hottest looking wheel for a 10 th gen civic si coupe ? Thanks 🙏
Hmm... So many options! Shoot us an email at shop@fitmentindustries.com and we can help you find something!
Can you do another video like this now and share your opinion after 6 years on ESR?
Did you guys still carry ESR? They aren't listed under the list of manufactures anymore. Love your vids!
Yes! We are updating the website currently and we’ll have them back on ASAP!
Fitment Industries thanks for the reply!
Hi I have a bmw 328i and I'm looking for the esr wheels.
That intro made my week
Can you do a comparison vid on the lip sizes between 8.5, 9.5 & 10.5 *PLEASE!!!*
We can definitely take a look at that for you, this is a great suggestion!
@@FitmentIndustries update?
What about there duo r line , love the look but don’t like the price
Just for clarity, those aren't "rivets" they're bolts. A rivet is a single-use compression-based fastener, where as a bolt constitutes a threaded engagement which is (typically) reusable. In the case of the ESR's (and the vast majority of cheap knock-off's), its not either of those. They're actually just plastic press studs that have been painted or plated.
Just ordered some SR07’s baby let’s gooooooo
Same here. Eta tomorrow!
Do Avant Garde wheels
Their new 3 piece forged wheels look really nice and the pricepoint is not bad at all es1 t is my most favorite of their 3 piece line up

Fitment Industries no I did not. I actually found out about your site and channel after I bought the wheels and was looking more into fitment. I browsed your galery though and it really confirmed my dicision. I really like what you guys do.
Can you do a video on Niche wheels
Got one on the way!! 👀🙌
lol I love these videos
Thanks Trae! We'll keep them coming :D
Ive been looking for a set of nice "race inspired" wheels that have a nice thin spoke design. Every wheel I like is way too expensive, not even by price but I simply like high end wheels without knowing the price because the finish is superior. The RF2's caught my attention for my 2017 Mustang EB because they 1. look like 20,000 dollar HRE's, and 2. Have a nice "high end" look within my budget of 1500 or less for wheels. Can anyone tell me more about the brand, maybe talk me out of this purchase, or reccomend something with similiar design within the budget? For reference my ideal wheel is a set of Forgeline GS1R's. As a side note, I want to build my car "inspired" by the GT4 car. So nice wheels, rear seat delete, many performance mods, tow hook, etc etc. So no tacky looking wheels. Thanks
You can’t go wrong with the RF2’s! We are going to make a video review on it but just from first Looks it’s a beautiful wheels and it’s prettyyyyy light.
Check out the available sizes on our website!
