New Wheel Interest
We are going to introduce a forged wheel that is lightweight and strong, It will be a special collaboration between us and a TOP wheel manufacturer. Right now we are thinking gloss black or matte black. But leaning toward gloss black. But that's where you guys come in!
We are looking for an aggressive sizes that will fit the crazy EVO 8/9 guys and also fit the EVO X guys! Here is size thoughts:
1st choice 18x9.5+22 with GTR face
2nd choice 18x9.5 +27 with GTR face
3rd choice 18x10.0 +20 with GTR face
We know and understand that these sizes are all super aggressive and not for the faint at heart, but they are only going to make 5 sets TOTAL for the craziest of the crazy. After that they will be no more.
The wheel will have some decals and accents. We are wondering would you want?
Black
Blue
Gold
Pink
Gloss Black or Matte Black?
Feedback?

Of those choices I'd say the 9.5 +27, it won't require crazy modifications to an 8/9 but will still look good on a X. Otherwise I'd like to see an 18x10 with an offset in the low 30's to still fit the 8/9 & X. If it has to be black then definitely gloss and for the decals white would be nice or flat black to contrast the gloss of the paint.

Just a heads up that this is a pre-existing wheel design that we are getting a special edition done for us in 5 sets. No one will doubt that these are the real McCoy. We are leaning toward gloss black because matte black has been done quite a bit. We need to nail down accent colors, we like the black but its not our first choice to see a black on black design. So we are thinking that RED may be a possibility as well. We have to ask! Help us out!

Ok I hear all you guys want gunmetal, but we already offer the SA-55 in 18x10 +18 in gunmetal and so many others!
What is it about gunmetal that makes you want more rims in gunmetal? When there are already so many on the market? There is only 5 sets ever going to be made like this. We want them to be special!! We want you to be able to brag about these to your friends!

OK the size and color are set!!!! 18x9.5 +22 Gloss Black Red accents Standard with the option to change it out to gold, blue or pink.
Side note:
Actually we are open to doing a 18x10 +19 in the future, but we are going to release this version first. We could do a different color and that crazier offset if this wheel generates some interest. On this wheel we are pre-ordering 5 sets regardless of deposits. The 18x10 +19 version would require at least 4 confirmed buyers. When we let the cat out of the bag, then everyone can decide if a 18x9.5 +22 would be a viable option for the rest of the community. Please stay tuned.
This....
WILL BE AWESOME
