I received a new sample of the Hyper Black finish wheel. The previous sample had to much silver sprayed onto it since it was hand painted. This new sample better illustrates what the final production finish will look like. It is diffucult to capture this finish in photography as it behaves different as the light changes. In low light it looks much darker. The last photo was taken with a flash and makes the wheel appear darker then it actually is. It's really more of a middle ground between the 3 photos.

We are currently looking at a 4x100 version of the 17x8" wheel. Engineers sent me a quick mock up of what an et25 4x100 wheel would look like. Ofsets are not finalized, this was just a quick computer test of it's feasbilty. Production is dependent on a minimum number of pre-order sales.

The wheels were tested on the E36 running a TCK coilover kit and Brembo BBK. They cleared the caliper no problem. Spacers were needed to clear the strut tube properly, which is common for all 9" wide wheels that will run wide tires.

Out in the sun
Just some photos out in the sun. The wheels will also be produced in Matte black, but I don't have a sample wheel in that color.
