THE TRUTH ABOUT ESR WHEELS 

Thank you guys so much for watching! Drop a comment on what wheel you wanna see next!

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..

So this is where idubbbz have been

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

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

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

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 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.

I wanna punch this guy in the face.... who would say that? this dude is dope as hell!

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!

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.

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 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.

I have a set of esr sr02. Love them and still going strong after daily driving

How about STR? (; I like how you guys aren’t wheel elitists. You guys do even coverage of all wheel brands. Big or small 👍🏼

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.

I love my esr"s I've had 2 sets and I've have had no problems and they look really good

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.

Just bought some esr SR08 18x9.5 for my turbo tiburon. Can't wait to install

I just got the esr sr08 in copper chrome. I absolutely love the color and quality. They are heavy but I love them!

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!

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

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.

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 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.

I’m gonna buy a set of ESR wheels

The people who post scathing hate comments about wheel manufacturers really are a particularly interesting breed. I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of them have never owned a set of wheels by that manufacturer. They're most likely just fanboys of a different manufacturer and in their eyes, anything that isn't made by one of the two or three brands they personally like is "absolute shit and/or way overpriced." People are always attempting to speak with authority about things they know very little about and it's clear as day even to other people with little knowledge on the subject. I have practically no knowledge about what makes a wheel good or bad for a certain type of application, therefore I don't pretend that I do. It's pretty simple. I understand the differences in manufacturing methods but that's about as deep as my knowledge goes, apart from knowing what sorts of aesthetic designs I like and dislike. I might say whether I think a company's designs look good or bad in my opinion but if I've never used their products, im not going to spout a bunch of nonsense about them as a company just because I heard it from someone else or, even worse, because it's cool and trendy to hate that particular company.

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.

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

Honestly never heard of anyone breaking one and now their making forged wheels too so id say its a good brand got something for every price point and style, and with lifetime structural warrenty its safe to say the company itself seems to be a pretty decent company.

Man im loving this series. Is funny, creative and intellectual. Keep it up guys.

What about there duo r line , love the look but don’t like the price

And now they actually have some really nice 3 piece Wheels!

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

Do varrstoens

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

Aye thats my mazda in the beginning!!!! Dope

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

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.

Dude..your vids are awesome! And I love your editing style!

The intro Haha i fuckin love this guy! 😂😂

MyTire Debeaded on the freeway it cracked and holds air still👌🏼👌🏼🙂

These wheels is like wearing Adidas with 4 stripes

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.

its 2022 and i just picked up some sr 01 18x9.5 for my 9th gen 👀👀

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.

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.

I got a set, I'm at peace with it .

Only thing I hate about my ESR wheels is that I curbed the fuck out of them a whole year after I got them.

Can you do another video like this now and share your opinion after 6 years on ESR?

I bought a Soarer with SR04s and i get tons of compliments and they look pretty good, I’m not complaining.

I have a 3 peace old set on my 2018 brz folks love them I’m impressed.

For my daily rears I love ESR and for my beefy rears is use weld 💯

I have personally always liked real wheels due to the central memes that people place. Example real wheels tend to last longer and not break as easily. I never have had any other set of real wheels like my sprints so I cannot judge until I buy "if I do" a set of esr xxr, etc wheels.

Do Avant Garde wheels

3 yrs. later and Esr goated af, eat you words babygirl,

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.

and now esr's rotary forged wheels seem competitive price and weight wise with enkei, konig etc

Just ordered some SR07’s baby let’s gooooooo

You have to respect fitment industry for giving you the facts there is not a profile in the comments that actually have a video of what wheel there running. Everybody knows there more expensive wheels and brands. But for a guy on a bugdet this brand gives you the look and style you want. I have $9,000 set of wheels and a $538 set and my cheap set gets more attention from the girls so who cares about what a guy thinks.

I bought sr08 wheels and also bought Work stickers and center cap decal to make it look like the authentic

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.

..Dunno what all the hate was 'bout. I got Ikon's, STR's, and XXRs. I owned my Ikon's for 15 years now and counting..

Well a set of ESR sr01 18×9.5+35 and 18×10.5+22 will fit on a base c5 corvette???

a fullset off 18*9 rotary forged wheels for $990 shipped? thats not bad at all.

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.

That cgi rain in the beginning tho lol

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

ESR and MST are good for Winter Wheels, still look fly as fuck in the winter months, and they're heavy, so they help with traction!

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

its good for just a daily driver and pothole City, aka L.A. i would fucking cry if i bent my Works.

I’d rather spend a bit of extra money to buy a set of Enkei. At least they supply OEM.

i was gonna buy some white sr04s and never realised the bolts were fake, now i definitely hate them

I’m planning on buying esr sr02 but I want to drift the car do you still think I should buy them?

lol I love these videos

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

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

Did you guys still carry ESR? They aren't listed under the list of manufactures anymore. Love your vids!

That intro made my week

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

ESR or XXR? I've seen some high hp street drag cars running XXRs or Rotas even if they are rep wheels but never an ESR so if anyone has experience with them for roll racing and shit on the streets lmk

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?

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….

History of AODHAN wheels?

Was tole by esr that the sr05 18.8.5 are 21pds so not to heavy

I don’t like ESR simply because they don’t support 4 luggers like myself and they sell wheels in shitty offsets for 17x8.5-9.5

Potholes don't care whether or not you're sporting 3 piece forged or reps. Where I'm from, there are a lot of potholes. I'll never buy expensive wheels ever again, fuck that nonsense. Plenty of reps that look just as good as my work wheels that got fucked by a pothole in one month.

How about making making a video on Racing Hart Wheels? I use to love the C2 model.

Do fast rims next please

My dad got some ESR knockoff of the Work Emotions. They're good looking wheels. Got em because whatever his car came with cracked and he need some new wheels quick

Thanks man for doing these videos! I get tired arguing with dumbass dudes about Forged and cast wheels! Brand names are awesome but I appreciate Everything!!

Could you report on wheel weight range for the ESR RF2? I'm looking at the 18X9 et30 5X120 BMW fitment

Hi I have a bmw 328i and I'm looking for the esr 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

Getting wheels for my dad’s birthday, do i put the quantity as 1 for 4 wheels or put the quantity at 4 for 4 wheels? 😅

What would be the hottest looking wheel for a 10 th gen civic si coupe ? Thanks 🙏

i had esr wheels on my subie very clean look for the price probably gonna grabbed a forged pair for my maxima

The only thing I hate about ESR's is the people that think their "killin the game" with em on

Can you do a comparison vid on the lip sizes between 8.5, 9.5 & 10.5 *PLEASE!!!*
