I hope these go into production, I still can't get in on this buy but this looks very nice!

 

[Sambosuda]

Yeah does this mean they'll go into production or is it just a pre order ?

Hello Guys,

Here is a little update on everything. The mold is currently in the works so as soon as our manufacture finishes that up and gets a sample wheel done, we'll share it with everyone here.

The final wheel sizing will be 17x9 with a -38mm offset which translate to 3.50" bs. This will be aggressive and the dish extremely deep compared to the rest of our wheel lineup. The wheel is estimated to weight around ~23-24lbs, but we'll get the final number once the sample arrives. Retail pricing on the wheels will be $195 each.

I will provide more info as they come along, but for the mean time, here is a render of the new size.

Are these a limited run, or a regular stock item now?

Where are they made?

Waiting for Bright Silver.

Isn't everything made in China??

I'm in for 5 matte gunmetal grey - confirmed

I do have a question - how come these are going to be 23-24 lbs, when the 16"x8.5" are less than 19 lbs? Seems weird, just curious.

 

[raynyc]

so this group will be paying $195 per rim + shipping?. timing is getting tight for me , i have to inspect my truck in October and i need new tires , my current rims are 16inch so..

My SCS f5's are made in Thailand (according to the box). I have the 17" 4.3" BS version.

 

[HDJDub]

They're made in Thailand. The casting on the rim is very nice. All the stuff on the back side is very crisp.

I'm disappointed that according to Discount Tire's web site, the 17" version of BFG KO2 cost $20 more per Tire than the 16" versions for a 33" Tire (I don't remember the metric sizes). Are you guys going 17" for cheaper tires, where are you buying these from?

 

[txlonghorn]

Tires are typically cheaper w/ smaller rim sizes. You're going in the opposite direction if that's you're reasoning!

 

[Dissent]

It's not my reasoning, something I had read and I wanted to validate if I was true. 17" is easier to come by though.
