Got the first glimpse of my new wheels...

Gotcha. Thought your last rotaforms were 18

 

It's TW. I understand the territory. Frankly im 42 not 22, I pay someone to wash my truck. /not my problem.

The 2d looked really neat, obviously pshopping a 18" center into a smaller hoop doesnt yield the exact results but close enough. What im stoked to see is how far both the spokes and dogbowl dive back into the center on the low offset wheel. We figured some new ways to under cut the forgings so we can make a mono2 face have a step lip, flange for beadlook ring for testing, and have alot of spoke dive.

 

The rotiform six was an 18. I went down to 17 last week. Running a 17x8.5 Fuel Anza until these are cut.

 

Unique!
Like em'
Gunmetal?
Always had a soft spot these

 

I think i'll do brushed transparent bronze with a matte ceramic clear.

 

They sound like they're going to be pretty sweet. Can't wait to see the finished product.

 

I'm curious how these come out. they look a lot like the current rally wheels that I see on all the local stage cars. If they aren't outrageously priced I might look in to a set.

 

with a white truck darker wheels are a pita to shoot. exposing in socal sun sucks with out lights and we wanna do something that makes them pop.

 

As usual I'm sure they'll be the shit!

 

So initially we do engineering / rendering. If we like that we cut a forged set to see how they look, get on a vehicle, shoot it. Then we move to making molds for a cast version. The cast six can be bought in 17x9 for between 200-250 wheel. Expect these to be the same.

 

Not bad.

 

Looking good @blackohio i've got some ideas for Brian when I'm ready to do 2pc we'll see what the felgen meister has to say about adapting some of the road wheels over to the offroad world

 

Because it's manly to not take care of your tools. Just beat the tar out of it and buy a new one when done. A TRUCK don't need not fancy wheels anyways, it not ever going to be cleaned. Don't bother to wash the bearing grease off your hands for lunch either.... MANLY!!!!

 

I suspect what they are doing is CNC machining them from forged "blanks" or just alloy billets --that is pretty common in the custom wheel world. You can buy forged blanks from Alibaba quite reasonably...

 

I work for the company making them. We have 25 Haas machining centers capable of cutting up to our largest 26x16 single piece forging and up intop the 30's for the dub/donk spinner faces, 8 lathes, fully automated paint/powdercoat line, polishing, welding and assembly areas.

 

Cool,

FUN! stuff. I'm retired now and this is all I'm allowed to play with:

 

still WAY more cool shit than in my garage.

 

All the haters who buy their shitty, cast, heavy monoblocs from the local tire store will suddenly be singing your praises when you execute on this and post pics...."That actually looks awesome BRO".

Provided you keep color choice, fitment, offset, width, diameter (16 or 17 IMO) and tire choice in line to compliment the vehicle, I think it will look great.

 

Nice! I have the same mini mill I converted to CNC. Awesome little benchtop machine

 

O boy, another wheel for VTX to rename. It'll be ok with Instagram though.

I do like them.
