Re: New wheels...long and kinda neat story...

B E A utiful wheels!! love em! when are these gonna be on the market, and how much??? who do i pay? holy cow..

if i was blessed with those wheels, i would prolly go with some black lug nuts, just cause the chromies seem out of place to me..

somethin like these.. clicky

but wow, i like em a lot overall.. i can totally relate to what you were going thru searching for wheels, and i kinduv got my knock-off zo6 wheels as a temporary solution.. but wow, those really hit the spot..

Re: New wheels...long and kinda neat story...

hey jason, any chance of those rims coming in ZR-1 sizes(17x9.5, 17x11)? i'm just about done with my body stuff and definetley need a new set of rims to set it off. i was thinking of ordering the american racing torq thrust classics(the gunmetal ones)but would rather have something like yours instead! they look amazing! you did an incredible job(on the whole car, not just the rims).

Final details are now being worked out. I guess the answer to that is "ASAP".

and how much???
Cost is still being finalized, but they will be on par with other top-end-quality forged wheels.

if i was blessed with those wheels, i would prolly go with some black lug nuts, just cause the chromies seem out of place to me..
Believe me, every inch of these wheels were scrutinized. We looked at the black lug nuts, and they made the black wheel look too muted.

but wow, those really hit the spot..
I am simply amazed at the response that I have gotten from them. E-mails, PMs, people looking at them for 10 minutes at a time at car shows...I really got it right.

Possibly. It depends on how things go from here on out. At first, they will be available for 4th gen f-bodies only, 18x9 front and 18x10 rear with the perfect 4th gen offset that we spent a great deal of time calculating. We got it right the very first time around.

but would rather have something like yours instead! they look amazing! you did an incredible job(on the whole car, not just the rims).
Thanks! I have some more pictures with a bit more wheel detail that I hope to be uploading this weekend. Stay tuned!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. This was a very long and hard projectand it really means a great deal to me.

Re: New wheels...long and kinda neat story...

when you say that they are going to be on par with top notch forged wheels are we talking CCW, Fikse, or are we talking HRE

That's actually somewhat of a subjective statement. In your opinion, what are the differences? Kinda curious...

i was refering to the price. a set of ccw would cost me about 2200 a set of fikse would cost me about 3200 and hre would cost me more. i was just tryign to get a price idea. i feel that they are all nice wheels in totaly different price brakets. i like your wheels and was just tryign to figure out how much.

Re: New wheels...long and kinda neat story...

These are now available!

(Link also in my sig)

That's my car used in the image, I have a bunch more to upload from a photoshoot a couple of weeks ago. I just gotta make the time to upload them. I'll post when I finally get to it.

I gotta tell you guys, response to these wheels has been overwhelming. I am kinda sorry to think that mine aren't the only set in existance any longer.

Looks like around the price a set of Fikse's would cost ya.

These wheels are a homerun man.
Congrats.

Re: New wheels...long and kinda neat story...

Well, this sorta fell by the wayside due to lots of stuff going on. Sorry about that.

I decided that I'd better put up some decent pics for you guys to take a look at like I promised before too much time passes.

I threw some pics into a simple gallery on my web site...
http://www.phantomss.com/gallery/index.php?list=4

The images are a little clearer than the previous ones I had up.
