dmyers151 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I'd be interested in a "kit". Gloss black lip w/satin black spokes... :dancing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMeyerhoff Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 As for finishes... I think that most people will prefer a polished center to a machine finish one. After all, a LOT of people have spent a LOT of time smoothing and polishing stockers. Your supplier is right, that any smoothing and polishing effort will ruin the colored inset portion of the spokes. When I polish a set of rims, I wait until after the polishing is nearly done to apply new paint to the insets. As for color, I think the stock grey is too light... darker shades look better and still will work with most colored cars. Darker insets If you can supply the rims without any finish and unassymbled for the cheapest price... I say go for it. Let folks choose their own look/finishes. mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 ^^^^ What Mike said. If I get a set (dependent on price) I'll be painting either the insets, or the entire spokes gold, not sure yet. So if the wheels came unassembled, it would make personalizing easier.

QuestforQuest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'd be down for a set if you can get them in the SHP widths and the price was fair..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsimurph Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Hi,Still working on price. They are completely new wheels with heat treated centre castings and are a genuine 3 piece so can have other shells fitted to vary width and offsets. My car has been used to measure off for these and it has stock suspension. I have been alerted to the DOT taking an interest in the wheels so I need to get my paperwork in place with them prior to offering them as a GP. Thanks for all the comments! Any news on the progress of this project? I can't wait to see the wheels on the car :eek1bluegreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macrophage Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 What kind of wheel security can he incorporate in the design maybe design the nut areas to take better wheel locks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 What kind of wheel security can he incorporate in the design maybe design the nut areas to take better wheel locks. Never thought of that even though it's not really an issue where i am. Star sleeps in a locked garage anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwbrocloud Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l70/jonjon_cloud/17_all_4_front.jpg Absolute Hotness. I wouldn't mind having to assemble a set either to get these puppies. I'm sure the price will be somewhat reasonable for the wheels but after tacking on shipping is what's gonna bust the bank. Either way . . . you're my hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowspyder Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 how long does the sealant last on the wheels??? Just wondering if its possible to make these in a 2 piece configuration instead of a 3 piece??? Although i must say those look beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakergavin Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Hi, Sorry, not much has happened, been moving house. From reading the posts, it looks as if the best option is to go with selling them as a kit so people can do their own finishing prior to assembly. I will post the GP as a new thread with drawings for offsets and the pricing based on this in the next few days. I have now gathered some money to buy tires so once these arrive and are fitted I will post thse pix as well. The sealant seems to last forever. I have some 3 piece wheels from the '70's that still hold air. Thanks for all the good comments and feedback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzStar Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Please post in this thread the link to your GP thread when you get it posted. A lot of folks are tracking this thread and it will "point" them to your GP. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
