ESR
Budget-friendly variety from cast to custom forged
History & Overview
Founded in 2014 in Brea, California, ESR (operated by Wheelimage Corp.) started as an entry-level budget wheel brand and has grown into one of the fastest-growing wheel companies in the aftermarket industry. The parent company claims 70+ years of combined forged wheel experience.
ESR's forged wheels are designed, engineered, and crafted at their Southern California facility, while cast and flow-formed wheels are imported from Chinese manufacturers. The company offers an unusually broad product range, from $200 entry-level cast wheels to $2,400+ custom 3-piece forged options with carbon fiber barrels.
The brand positions itself for enthusiasts who prioritize style over outright performance, offering direct-to-consumer pricing with frequent sales (Buy 2 Get 2 Free promotions, $100 wheel sales). ESR provides a lifetime structural warranty and custom drilling options on most models.
