Re: Prodrive ME?

The design is so blardy identical I can't tell the diff from ME. Both 14 spokes too. Potential lawsuit keke.

Re: Prodrive ME?

Does Rays make the rims for Prodrive? If so, then it's called cross-branding or something like that...

The new Prodrive GC014.

Re: Prodrive ME?

Yeah, I think Leong Seng guys said that they are made in the same factory. Thus the similarity.

Re: Prodrive ME?

If you look behind the Prodrive wheel, it does say its made by Rays. Prodrive doesnt have their own wheel manufacturing facility so its outsourced.

Re: Prodrive ME?

I saw the brochure at Leong Seng. This is the new Gc014. There is apparently another one also called Gc014 but is termed the flat face version or 'subaru version'......

This one slightly cheaper than Volks ME and also lighter. I foresee more BMWs wearing this one in future. 19' Volks ME wieghs 9.7kg for a 8.5J, whereas a prodrive Gc014 is only 9 kg flat !!!!

Re: Prodrive ME?

The surfix should be "i" GC014i and is generally on a pcd of 100 for the "Japanese" cars, I was on GC05F for my old subaru and really like those rims but none of the prodrives I know have the correct offset for BMW.

Re: Prodrive ME?

correction. Gc014i 8.5J shld be about 9.3 or 9.4 kg. It was schmeiden that was 9 kg flat .
