Same exact factory as MRR but stamped differently

They sure don't LOOK the same as MRR. I have no knowledge to their manufacturing, but definitely a different wheel. Immediately noticeable. Not saying good or bad, just point out "different".

Judging from all the photos you provided, this is a lower quality replica than the MRR017, hence the lower price (probably). The overall shape and lines are slightly different, they probably scanned and traced an outline instead of stealing the actual design doc.

The difference is not huge, but those who have OEM 1LE wheels or MRR017s will be able to tell. Others, not so much. I also wouldn't trust these for the track.

Canyons only. Will never see a single day on the track. If I was a track rat, would have gone oem or bought the 1le.

For the value I can beat these wheels and tires up on the
road and not feel guilty. Do have mag ride and honestly no complaints on this setup.

I also hate gloss black. These are satin to match my Borla tips and stripes. Have gloss oem black 22's on my Silverado and they leave way too many Mico scratches in the finish after cleaning.

^^^ Agreed.

However, as a knock off of a great design, they still look nice on the car.
Noticeable they are a knockoff, sure, but only to us Camaro heads.
