Jetfire Report post Posted April 11, 2012 Was wondering if a front Hercules weighed the same as a front Hermera, as well as if a rear Hercules weighed the same as a rear Hermera? Anyone know the exact weights for each one? TIA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Report post Posted April 12, 2012 Lotsa luck trying to find their respective weights online, lol. They weigh about the same. We have both in our Shop - actually have an unmounted Hermera; the Hercules is mounted. But they both are 'regular' cast wheels - typical. Nice to look at but nothing special in-terms of construction/engineering. I only become interested when they're forged, and from there - depends on how exotic the style is. ~Howard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DetroitDetomaso Report post Posted April 13, 2012 I personally know of Chinese replicas out there. You cant tell by looking at the wheels. I saw a pallet of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topjay Report post Posted April 13, 2012 I believe eurospares were selling replicas as well for a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Report post Posted April 13, 2012 I wouldn't be surprised if replica fronts were floating about, but I'd be amazed if they bothered to make the rears. Far too limited application, ergo sales opportunities. The replica market regularly will make Gallardo as well as R8 fronts, to sell to the Audi and VW guys. Murcielago? Hmmmm........

Jetfire Report post Posted April 13, 2012 Replicas make me a little nervous. Another board member told me the replica fronts weigh the same as oem, but the replica rears are about 3 lbs heavier than oem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Report post Posted April 14, 2012 Replicas can be made to the same design, size, width, and obviously bolt pattern. But they are rarely the same exact weight. This isn't an issue when replacing all four wheels, but definitely is a concern when replacing just one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
