they are made by A-tech japan, a good JDM tuning company. They are cast, but are of pretty good quality and would be a good choice if you like them

those remind me of the advan t7 or the new f7's (forged version of the older t7).. very nice for a cast or forged wheel which i believe is forged by RAYS...

found a sick new m3 with them on it... japanese wheels on a euro car.. go figure lol

E92 M3 with Advan F7's

thats the bronze finish, nice wheels and not too heavy, the rears I think come out around 22-23lbs in a 18x9.5+15. which is nice considering they're a sub-$1000 wheel set.

JDM A-Tech wheels are forged. They make these for MB i a cast form. They're def not that light for the sizes, but are pretty strong. I had a st of 17x9 MB Competitions on R-Comps that I used for AutoX over 3 seasons. They weighed about 20lbs. but were great.
