What other wheel manufacturers make a wheel which looks like the BC Forged HB29 pictured below?

ADV.1, HRE--both are more expensive than BC.

[johndeere]

Anything less expensive on the market?

So you're looking for a replica of a replica?

I guess? You know how there are so many wheel manufacturers making a CSL style wheel. I was hoping to find something similar in design to the HB29 without it costing $4K.

GF6 from the MRR line (cast, only in 19" and only in black so far):

[Kyokio]

not exactly the same but similar.. Euromag EM10 (cast, avail in 19s/20s)



Pricing is below $1500 so def affordable.

Technic and Kyokio, thanks guys. That's exactly what I was looking for.

I have another questions, on the photo of the Porsche, it appears the rear wheel is much more concave than the front. Is that the case, or is it only an illusion?

Wow that looks good

The Porsche has a staggered setup. Its rear wheels are wider, therefore they have a higher offset than the front wheels. The larger the offset the more concave the wheel (or as long as it isn't a large positive offset).

Huh?? The larger the offset, the "lesser" concave the wheels are, given other parameters like wheel width remaining the same.

Actually that is backwards.

The higher the ET, the less concave because the center of the rim is pushed out, or the outer diameter is pushed in. Thus decreasing concavity.

The Cayman's rear concavity, which looks awesome, is because as the above poster said, a staggered set-up with a wider wheel. But, it is a factor of larger wheel width, not a higher ET.

I have 19x9.5 all around but my rears have offset 40 and fronts have 45. My rears are more concave than the fronts even though they are the same width.

That is exactly what I was saying

I was trying to simplify it but it didn't come out right. With positive offset the larger the offset the more convex it will be, and with negative offset the larger the offset the more concave/deep set it will be...

[Technic]

Offset can influence how much concavity can be had in a wheel but it does not define concavity. You can have a flat face wheel regardless of offset or width.

Concavity is a combination of design, offset and wheel width.

[FeelingBlue]

Ya it depends on your zero offset. If your rim face seats with the lip where your hub mounting surface is then the statement I made is true, and always will be. If the hub mounting surface is at zero position but the rim face meets the lip at an offset (out towards the front of the wheel) then you will have concavity even with positive offsets.

Pulled the trigger on the Euromags. Going to have them powder coated in matte graphite. Can't wait.
