    Welp, it's time, centers are cut, getting welded next week to test sizes for new cast wheel line. Can't say how fast the cast ones will be released but soon. We've got 3 sizes being made to test designs visually. 17x9, 18x9 and 20x9

    Mine will be finished in matte bronze, and size is 18x9.5 et-6. Eventual cast will be x9.0 in a few different offsets.

    Looking forward to seeing a finished product! I know the Rotiform brand from being involved in the VW/Audi/BMW scene for many years, so it's interesting to see the product expanded to a new genre of the automotive aftermarket.

    No love for those of us who like 16's for off-roading, huh?

    As far as I know 17" is the smallest cast we'll be doing. However 2-piece welded like above can be done in any size/offset and offers better weight/strength characteristics

    Awesome looking wheel no doubt. Curious on the price point compared to other Tacoma specific wheels.

    cast will be onpoint with the rest of the market, however I cannot say +/- to their end price. We have the supply chain and resources to be able to offer the wheel and be rather affordable.

    The 2 piece weld stuff will be more expensive, but its a forged center and barrel so it's an entirely different scenario. But these are available to order if someone wanted. Being on the art side I cannot speak to the sales side. I can just share whats happening, whats coming and help build demand for the more affordable cousin.

    To me it's just aesthetics. I think the Tacoma looks better with more sidewall, and since I'd like to stick to 32's the 16 wheel gives me the amount of sidewall:wheel ratio that I think looks good on a Tacoma. Larger tires look fine with 17's, especially 34's, but I'm too much of a pussy to run tires that big ;)
