Level 8 Concept wheels - Your feedback requested

Those look better for truck rims. Can the valve stem be put in between the spokes of those?

 

Good choice of using volk and enkei as a replica. They are starting to get too busy with the extra ridges along every spoke though. I like the center caps a lot.

 

Here are a couple of suggestions for wheel choice that I would buy right NOW if they were available in tacoma specs. By the way 2 out of the three choices are Japanese wheels to stick with your theme of enkei rpf1's and volk te37's.



1. Mugen m7



2. Desmond regamaster evo's/ Marquis promadas



3. CCW Classics

 

RPF1s. Damn

 

ill take the 6 or the 7 in that color but 6 is cleaner..

 

Huh funny thing.....I was just looking at CCW's website today. He did a drag pack for my Vette and Viper. Always liked John's work.

 

I almost gave him call a few months ago. Glad I didn't because my bank account would be $2600 short.

Maybe one day.

 

Really really like the split spoke.

Please make in a 5 lug!

 

I hate center caps on trucks. Please have them post pics with no center caps. Also need projected weights of 17x8.5 with 4.25" backspace with 6 on 5.5 and appropriate center bore.

 

the new 6/7 spokes are nice.

 

concept a is exactly what im looking for in a aftermarket wheel...17x8 or 17x9 with 4-4.5in of back spacing would be a seller imo

 

The 6 and 7 spoke I would run, the split spoke imo looks to "ricer" or just belongs on cars, not trucks. Maybe it's because I had a set of Enkei's on my focus that looked very similar to them.

Make sure they go with a 4.5" BS, shouldn't be an issue since that's what most of their other stuff is. Also, FWIW, I like the look of the "8" cap better than their current. Plain and to the point.

 

I like the 6 spoke with the plain black center cap (logo on the spoke) and beveled edge.

The only thing I would be concerned about is how far the outer edge of the spoke sticks out, right near the lip. That edge would get checked on some rocks for sure. That is the only design flaw, and my only concern if you want to market these as "Off Road" wheels.

Also, as others have mentioned, please put some thought into the backspacing as most of us do/want to run wider tires. Minimum of 4.75", but preferably 4" - 4.5".

Just for reference, here are my top picks from Level 8 (please lose the fake CF center cap) and some competitors.




My personal favorite:



(black center cap of course)

....and who can forget these little guys

 

I like all of the wheels on the first page with my favorites being the six and seven spoke. As many have stated before, they are similar to the Konigs and Volks, so I'm sure they would sell like hotcakes considering the others are so damn hard to get. Just be sure to make them in Bronze also!!!

 

I would buy these wheels today. Kudos to Level 8 for reaching out for customer feedback. Just remember:
1) affordability
2) simplicity
3) variety (sizes and colors/ finishes)
If these are met this wheel design will sell millions of copies.

 

I would like the 7 spokes but in a bronze color.

 

I really like the second version of the six spoke. The ones with the beveled edges and what appears to be slightly wider spokes. I like the aggressiveness of how the spokes are near the lip, but I don't offroad my truck so impact is not an issue for me. I would be very interested in these if they came in 17x8 or 17x9. I am looking for something to replace my trd sports. I would prefer they come in gunmetal/anthracite, matte charcoal or matte black. I am currently in the market for wheels so hopefully they come out with more details quickly.
And please- no flashy centercaps

 

Liking the first iterations of the wheels better than the beveled edged versions. Easier to clean, simple lines. Custom colors would be great......Well besides just black and silver. Maybe white, bronze, and anthracite?

 

I'd like four of the six spoke in black, 17" right now.

 

will any of them be a 16x8 with a 4.5 BS and 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern? not a fan of running 16x8.5s or whatever else.
