I don't like that many shops don't even list brands, or give their own number to make it look like they had some part in it. It makes it hard to compare prices or quality parts. I've cancelled more sales from not knowing than from trying to save a dollar and go elsewhere. The brands also seem to depend on what is in stock due to production runs and if 15 or 17 diameter, some sellers have have both brands as a result because it's all that is available in that diameter. Based on photos and no comparison of both, it appears the OER Gold is much more pale than the YO Gold. It would be good to see them both. YO also uses the tapered acorn lugnut, OER uses correct snowflake lugnut. Would like to hear if this has changed or not correct, only based on ad listings and stock photos. I don't think there is any question in where the rims are coming from. It would be interesting to see how much they actually differ though between the 2 brands. Often the main casting is onsold to different companies to put their own brand on, with minor or no changes. It could well mean the OER wheels with stock offset and lugnuts, are just 1st Production YO, or same as.

sorry for any confusion, i was mistaken on the current 17" lug nuts, but the current ad at YO for the 17" do clearly show the standard lug opening in the pic but then note they use the acorn lug nuts...

but being this thread is about the 15" wheels & your comment on lugnuts didnt differentiate between 17 or 15", it just said "YO uses acorn & OER uses standard snowflake lug", i just wanted to clarify that all 15" repros use the non acorn lug nut.
