I have to agree with this, as these wheels are usually 10k each, but I have seen some hub conversions and used wheels for relatively cheap. |
I don't think there's anything cheap about those wheels. They look like bespoke BBS units.
Also, if you try to cheap out with a single hub conversion, that's risky from a safety perspective and imho takes away from the quality of an otherwise hot car. If you're gonna do it to the tits, don't cut corners.
After looking at it again, I'm more convinced it's a chop. The backspacing on those wheels is really deep, and if he used an adapter plate it would only force the hub centre out further. Also, if he used proper track car hub assemblies and control arms, they would be wide-track units for racing and therefore those wheels wouldn't tuck into the stock arches like that.
But now I'm just being a picky geek
Note the lack of deep dish on the factory DTM car equipped with single bolt hubs:
