Gauging interest in SCS F-5 Wheels in new 17x9 size

[HDJDub]

I want a nice jdm style wheel, that's all I want.

These are a copy of 4x4 Engineering's Bradley V Wheels.

I can get you those genuine from Japan. 16 x 8 -25 works perfect on an 80

 

[HDJDub]

I'm fully aware of that and can get them as well but this thread is about a new custom size and finding people who are interested.

Of course! I'll add you to the list.

Might be the wrong thread for this. But I am kind of liking the bronze wheels. What do you guys think abouta dark green 80 with bronze wheels? Would that be too " boy racer"? I tend to like traditional or classic but the bronze is really kind of nice. But I would never have gone for "gold" wheels in a million years. My idea of being is a good set of sliders.

 

[HDJDub]

It's a little on the dark side but it could work. Black wheels would look terrible. I know for me I have the same colour truck. I'm going to run white.

 

[raynyc]

how far off do you think we are for ordering these things ?

 

[HDJDub]

2 more people needed. Vin from SCS will then take over from there.

 

[raynyc]

Vin's asked me to get everyone's color choice organized. So if all of you guys can list out the colors you'd like to go with from the available colors please let me know.

Vin says the non refundable deposit will be $100 per person to get this started. As soon as I have minimum 2 more people on board SCS can get started on this.

 

[HDJDub]

I should mention it's all the standard colors plus gloss white as well.

 

[cruiserpilot]

Just want to confirm, is this 17x9 -30 or -40? -30 is 3 7/8" BS -40 is 3 7/16" BS

 

[HDJDub]

17x9 -30, the backspace would be around 3 7/8

 

[raynyc]

gunmetal for me , are we going to agree on a price before we give this deposit? we should also agree on a delivery date before the deposit

 

[HDJDub]

The price is in the 180-190 range as Vin explained they can't give a price yet on a wheel they haven't designed yet. But it will be close in price to the 17x8.5. There's more material/higher load rating and they are custom making only 100 wheels.

Delivery date I don't think is something we should have any say in, Vin said to me that this will take some time to design and build. I would think a minimum 3 months. I would be very happy to get fully custom wheels in 4-5 months.

 

[rc51kid]

Maybe I missed it. But is this going to be a one time run or something that becomes a regular item with enough interest (100 people)?

 

[HDJDub]

This could potentially only be a one time run. They'll make as many wheels as needed in this run but a minimum of 100 wheels need to be ordered for it to happen. If they end up being popular maybe Vin will continue to make them but that is unknown at this point.

 

[Wheelingnoob]

So close....... Couple more people!

 

[HDJDub]

Need one more person now!

I also need @cruiserpilot @RhinoFZJ80 @brosky @mryanangel @n00g7 to get back to me guys. I need to make sure you're still good to go on this and what color you want.
