You should also look at speedy infernos. There the same wheel in black and cheaper.I found the john bowe wheels to light in colour and the black might look better on a ego car.

Those two wheels look exactly the same. How can John Bowe put his name on it from Speedy's design?
The wheels are ok but there's plenty better looking wheels out there IMO.

Just marketed under the JB name with unique finishes, it's the same wheel underneath the paint & polish.

maybe john bowe's are lighter in weight? maybe the build quality is higher? maybe to some people having bowe's name associated with their GT might enhance their experience with the car? i'm not 100% on any of these but they may well be factors...

What i am lookin for in both wheels which one would suit my Gt the best as the colour is EGO but i don't want to go BLACK or CHROME,just a machined or gunmetal finish & i know there are alot nicer wheels out there but these two are my personal choice... we all have different tastes when it comes to mags for your pride n joy.

A very good choice there i bought my infernos just before Christmas last year and really set my AU off compared to the BA mk11 rims i used to have on it.
Speedy must have a deal with Falkens as i have those tyres as well
