Wheel Update

I received some long awaited imagery of the wheel. Which I've attached below. Currently the 17x8 et38 wheel weights in at 15.6lbs We believe we can get the final weight down to 14.8 to 15.1lbs. This will take some additional time to engineer but is worth it.

Here are the pics

Survey Monkey Poll

I'll be creating a poll using Survey Monkey to help us determine exactly how many people are interested in what color of this wheel along with how many people for each size. Since minimum runs have to be met, it's important that we get a good census now because we may never meet the minimum again to have wheels produced.

PLEASE fill out the survey once it's posted. You can also check out the two polls to the right.

Thank you

Colors

Because multiple wheel sizes are being created. It is possible to have some of the wheels created in other colors besides silver, but each size would be created in these colors. I'm looking to get color opinions from people.  Other mesh wheels have been produced in colors such as Silver, motorsport (champagne hue) and a ball peen polished finish. I've seen the wheels refinished in gloss black, flat black, gloss white, and some other colors.

I'd like to hear what people who actually want because these colors are pretty much going to have to be pre-ordered. If you want silver then don't mention any other color.

I've added a poll to the side but please feel free to leave comments to this post or post on any of the forums. It takes about 80-10 wheels to get a color made so be aware that choices that are too unique just won't happen. so if you post a list of your color preferences it would help more

Here are some random images of some refinished wheels.

4 lug wheels

Talking with a number of people at bimmerfest, and from some of the emails I've received, it seems there is interest in a 4x100 version of the wheel. The concern is the low number of people who run 17's on their non M e30's. A mold adjustment would have to be made with around 50 sets of wheels producedat a minimum to make the 4 lug fitment feasible. This is higher then I originally thought would be needed. It would be tough to get this many people together since there are a number of cheap wheels available (although they are not forged and not even close to being as light). I'll check interest on some of the more major forums to see how much interest there really would be. It could be possible as a production run down the road.

Getting ready for Bimmerfest

I'll be headed down to Bimmerfest tomorrow. Since my M3's all torn apart, I'll be taking a friends e30 that just finished getting a roll bar welded in today. While I'm there I'll see who else is interested in the e30 m3 offset version of the wheel. Hopefully we'll have a good m3 turn out.
