Posting to See Interest ... ? Billet Truck Style Rally Wheels in Bigger sizes.

First thing is let me say this isnt going to happen overnight by any means.

I had a conversation with a Wheel Building company and expressed that there would be interest in a Bigger Diameter Billet Aluminum True Truck Style Rally Wheel . He told me that they had been discussing this exact wheel but they werent sure there would be enough demand to warrant the expense of even designing it.

So I guess I am asking .... How much interest is there in this wheel. I have no Idea how much ....Not even remotely. But If I had to guess ..... based on what they sell their other wheels for ....$500-$600 each depending on size and please understand I am only guessing at this.

Hopefully this area is alright for this converstion ..... If not lets put it where it belongs ...

$500-600!!! I would only spend that type of money on a 22" and up with a big lip as an option

Keep in mind ..... I am only guessing .... We never talked price and they are only in the talking about it stage. But that is what I am trying to figure out is there enough interest to push them and maybe get something built

I'd think a stamped bigger version would be more appealing from a design and price standpoint. JMO.
I would think $500 - $600 per wheel for would tough for most people to pay. At that point, I think most people would just go with flashier wheel.

The place that I am talking to doesnt stamp any wheels , Cant find anyone interested in doing that. This company does CNC Billet wheels.

Re: Posting to See Interest ... ? Billet Truck Style Rally Wheels in Bigger sizes.

The most I'd pay is about $250 / rim for this....too much choice in the market for other wheels.

Im talking about a custom built billet rim. The price range you are talking about is Cast wheels off the shelf and you have to live with the available backspacing. Being able to specify specific backspaces requires a custom built wheel .

I understand what you are talking about , but this wouldnt be that kind of wheel.
