nickball75 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Been looking at these wheels for a long time as im want to sell my 19's and put 18" Jade R's on I thought they were made by Mania Racing, but I have seen them on the team dynamics website aswell with the Team dynamics logo. Are they rebadged by mania? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Wheelmania make them IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickball75 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 So any ideas who team dynamics are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Another wheel manufacturer. Maybe they act as distributors for Wheelmania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickball75 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Ok, so I would be getting the same quality wheel from either brand then. Thought maybe one of them was a cheap rip off, although they are quite cheap anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 What is the price for a set Jade 18 inchers?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbloodyturbo Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I thought team dynamics were a good wheel manufacturer, didn't they make motorsport wheels and the like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 They are branded under lots of different names, at that price they'll most likely be manufactured in either China, Philippines or Thailand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I think team dynamics make the wheels on behalf of wheelmania and they put their on centre caps on them i think. As far as i know wheelmania design them and team dynamics make them for wheelmania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickball75 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 So, they are gonna be the same quality no matter which brand I go. I know there is far more better quality wheels out there, but for price and design, I think these are great. I just didnt wanna go buying a crap copy. 19" Mania pacifics anyone?

Are they rebadged by mania? I've ordered a set of these today and have done loads of shopping around! So the story goes..... they are made by Team Dynamics and the design was originally exclusive to Wheel Mania, Wheel Mania have now lost the exclusive rights so other suppliers can order them from Team Dynamics and they will just come with a Team Dynamics centre cap instead of Mania. So I've been told anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahJon Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 When are you getting them fitted, would be great to see a pic. What size have you gone for? We're having 18's. We've got 19" Vortex R's on at the moment and I'm sick of having to avoid every grid in the road because they catch on the back arches [sHOCK][/sHOCK] I've ordered them today but when they spoke to Team Dynamics they said that they've got no 18's in stock at all and that it will be a 5 week wait as we'll have to wait for them to be manufactured - not good He's going to speak to his contact on Tues as he's out of the office today and see if he can get a set any quicker seeing as he's got a customer waiting (me!), fingers crossed anyway! I'll keep you posted on their whereabouts and will get pics up as soon as they turn up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Jade R Alloys are all made by Team Dynamics. Wheelmania just offered up a wedge to Team Dynamics to make them in the larger sizes and offer exclusivity to them on that basis. Hence they buy them for one price and sell them on, only available from one distributor at a higher cost, henceif you went to Team Dynamics and asked for 19's they would say you can only get them from Wheel Mania. Easy really isn't it! Chuffed to bits with mine took a long time to get here directly manufactured by Team Dynamics, but they are now supplying FORD with their alloys so im affraid we all got to wait longer. (So I have been reliably informed). Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 They are branded under lots of different names, at that price they'll most likely be manufactured in either China, Philippines or Thailand. So top quality then;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
