These guys wanted $1320 for a complete set of 4. Beats AMG $1700 price tag I would think

He's the guy I got our rims off, nice chap. He's also the importer and supplier of the R90 style rims to AMG....

Indeed he is.

For you Audi/VW mates Ruotecompany also make replica wheels to suit those cars. BMW replica rims also.

Does anyone know who imports the Hamann bodykits into Australia??

Blacky · Nov 25th, 2004, 05:53 AM

Can you confirm if these are in fact true R90s (two piece)

or single piece copies.
No use spending good money of copies.
Thanks

a bit OT, but anyway...

It was KS Tuning, but last I spoke to Kevin (the owner) he wasn't in business anymore. I'd suggest calling TCCA Motorsport (http://www.tccamotorsport.com.au) and asking them who is the Hamann Distributor for Aus. I'm fairly sure someone else picked it up, but I can't remember who it is. TCCA have all the old Hamann stock from KS Tuning, so you might pick up a bargain

I hope you're sitting down when you hear the prices though

They are one piece replicas ... and when you compare the prices you may reconsider.

I have the replicas on my car (see my gallery and relevant links below) and have had no problems with them. With the money "saved" from the real deal I have enough to get myself a new pulley, ECU upgrade and probably could squeeze an aftermarket exhaust in there too. Honest!

More power to you if you want the "real" BMW part, but there are advantages to both options, just don't rule these out because they're "fake".

Cheers Liam

Thanks for the confirmation.
At $1300, there are many options for non genuine R90's.
Awayys looking for a bargain, but always for the right thing.
To tell the truth I am still thinking of Simmon wheel or OZ.
Anyhow, need to get the car first, you know the story.

Absolutely. As it happens I was trying to source ASA AR1 alloys and could not find an Australian supplier able to get them. In the process the very helpful Chris @ AMG stumbled across the R90 replicas. This is what the ASA AR1s look like ... CLICK HERE
