The HPI wheels are very close to the same offset. They are within .5mm. They are a universal wheel so there are inserts needed to sit right in the hex which is a little bit of a pain in the ass. Because they are a universal wheel they will be a bit higher price than the DE wheels. The DE wheels should retail for $8.00-$9.00 and the HPI wheels are about $10. The HPI wheels do look pretty cool with the spoke pattern they have however the DE Wheels will come in White, Silver, Black and Yellow.

I myself will be sticking with the DE Racing wheels.
