sakergavin Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I have now got available 17" OEM look alloy wheels.These are genuine 3 piece racing style wheels with a cast & heat treated centre and spun shells.The outer shells will come polished and the raised part of the centres will be machined as per stock.They will however come as a kit so people can add their own personal finishing such as powder coating, painting or polishing. The fronts are 8.5" wide and the rear 10" wideIn both cases the measurement from the wheel mounting face to the inner bead is 4" (100mm)They are suitable for both street and track use. Prices are:1-10 sets $650/wheel10-50 sets $575/wheel50+ sets $500/wheel This is a reasonable price when compared with: Jline $710eaVolk $738 eaHRE 1545 eaBBS 975 eaFikse $770 eaKinesis 1042 eaSSR $560 eaWork $790 ea I have fitted 225/45/17 and 255/40/17's which look too small.Measuring up it would be possible to fit 245's and 285's on depending how low your car sits. Pictures can be found at the other SQC thread on this http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=92618&st=120 as I can't figure out how to get my browser to post pictures! The deal is 50% deposit on order and the rest on shipping. Shipping cost will be notified once we have a zip code.Photo updates of order progress will be provided with a 10-12 week manufacturing time. Leave a follow up post or pm me if you want to order a set. For those who are interested the shells come in 1/2" width increments both inner and outer. I wouldn't go any wider on the inner due to how close the wheels get to the suspension already. Prices are $135 ea for shells up to 5" wide and $180 for shells over 5" wide. The inner shells on the front and rear are 5" wide leaving the outers at 3.5" and 5". Polishing is $30 per shell. After spending many months and much money getting these organised it will be good to see some happy customers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 How long will these be available for? I wouldn't be able to swing that kinda money for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetspd150 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Like the effort you put into this and the wheel itself but a simple question? Is it possibleto hide the rivet screw bolts to make it true stock look? Some three piece wheel use thebolts that you don’t see called blind bolts, which are bolted into the face from behind the wheel through the inner and outer.

RWDAddict Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I'd be down for just the rears. Since they are already polishing the lip could they just polish the whole wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWDAddict Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Also are there any weight savings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakergavin Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hi,I will run the GP until I have at least 10 sets.As for putting the bolts in from behind, it is possible but a lot more costly as each hole has to be drilled, tapped and inserted.The reason for supplying them as a kit is so people can apply the surface finishes they want to the front, as not everyone wants all of it polished or painted etc.Personally, I would rather not make things incredibly complicated for packing & shipping by offering to have this work done.Weight is approximately 7.5kg (16.5lbs) each. I say approximately because they were measured on my old rotary dial bathroom scales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmyers151 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Any way you could get some pics of the car with the 17's out back and stock 16's up front? Curious about how they compare visually and how they effect the stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoolinturbo Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 i think they are pretty sweet looking...but for 650/wheel i could buy some pretty sweet name brand wheels, and not pay extra for polishing. Im not bashing...they look very nice quality and sharp looking...but price def needs to come down. 2600+ shipping +tires....your probably looking at $4k total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yzrider Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) Sweet sweet wheels and awesome idea. But like they said 600 a wheel? I bought both my starions combined for 800 and that included all 8 wheels. 600 a wheel sounds like a ferrari forum topic not a starion. Im not bashing it hell im actually just sad really its just too much money to even consider it. Edited October 8, 2009 by yzrider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuze Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Look, a set of legit 3 piece wheels in that size can run you easily 4K for just the rims. Of course you can get a "3 piece look" set for $600... if that's what you are looking for it's all good. These cars are now at least 20 years old, if you have a clean car it'd be worth it to me. This is not mass produced stuff, you will never see them again and probably never have another chance to get a set that look factory like this. Same reason I bought all those carbon fiber body parts last year, gotta strike when the iron is hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you can get a "3 piece look" set for $600... if that's what you are looking for it's all good. Yea, a legit 3 piece can run you that for sure, but how many guys on here do you know who actually went out and bought a set for their Quest? No one that I know of. I think the point for most of us here is that our cars themselves in many case for most guys aren't monetarily worth 4k-5k. So why spend 3k-4k on just wheels??? Nice wheels yes. But it kinda just doesn't seem feasible unless like you said your car is a super clean low mileage original or a super clean highly modded son of gun.
