I messaged for better pic and if it includes hubs

So the price includes 4 wheels and hubs and mounting looks like an exact copy

The hole in the hub for the axle to go through looks a little large...

no look like a normal hole in a SLW hub to me. (for the axial hex nipple to go threw)

dang it even has "Method" engraved. or something engraved. ebay pics didnt have that.

SLW hubs are $30, and there included with these (chinease) so the wheels are costing you $13 for all 4

I like the wheels but my enthusiasm went away when I saw they are only 1.9's.

I'll stick with the real deal, made in America genuine vanquish wheels. not a cheap ripoff.

Cheap aluminum just screams stripped threads.

Yup because bolting chinese wheels to a set of axles from china that are bolted to a chassis from china would be dumb. Be a 'merican, buy 'merican! :lol:

I don't mind legit parts made by companies manufactured there.. its the blatant ripoffs that bother me.

There is plenty of copying going on with everyone these days. Just look through the new products section here and you'll see 3 products right off the bat that are photo copies of preexisting products from other companies. It is what it is.

I wonder if the bolt pattern is the same to change rings?

Got the set i ordered today, nice quality the hub bolts are m3 head and thread

Im no expert but they seem to be cast, i dont see and milling marks, but some casting marks are visible

Overall a decent looking wheel for the price

If that says method on the spokes there's gonna be some paperwork filed I'm sure. VP, Axial, and CFM are the only authorized to reproduce their wheels.

It looks like the method pic he sent you was of the vanquish wheel he copied, not the ones he makes. The pic you just posted looks like what's in the eBay link.
