Ok I hear all you guys want gunmetal, but we already offer the SA-55 in 18x10 +18 in gunmetal and so many others!



What is it about gunmetal that makes you want more rims in gunmetal? When there are already so many on the market? There is only 5 sets ever going to be made like this. We want them to be special!! We want you to be able to brag about these to your friends!

People just want a light, forged wheel that's good looking, in the optimum size for the X... at the right price.

Exactly what I was noting about. People here are too conservative. What make a limited production run on a wheel that looks exactly like 20,000 other wheels on the market. Do black with gold accent.

I think the reason ppl want gunmetal is because it fits so many different color Evos, looks good & doesn't draw crazy attention to itself... All while being HOT!

Limited Edition doesn't mean it should be tacky.. just my .02

LE version of CE28N looks tacky with the polished lip
LE version of the RE30 same thing tacky polished lip

you can always follow the trend and just make a small portion of the rim design polished can call it LE.

I'm with raytrix. Gold and black could look really good if gone correctly.

In the past there have been a bunch of gunmetal versions of forged wheels. For instance the special version Volks as mentioned earlier, CE28 and LE37 were made in gunmetal with polished lip. Of course they were hot sellers at the time, but we are wanting to introduce something approximately 18lbs in a JDM forged wheel gloss black. This version wheel has never been made in this color. Because there has been so much debate about the accents, the stickers will be available in PINK, BLUE, RED or GOLD. The valve stems will only be offered in RED, BLACK or BLUE. All at no additional cost.

We will have renderings of the wheel ASAP, and we will let the cat out of the bag when they are on the way. 5 sets only.

I would love to sell you "**** yellow" if you want to BUY 5 SETS. We can't cater to a few individuals we need to appeal to the masses. I need to make sure we can sell all 5 sets of these no problem. While providing you guys with something that hasn't been seen or done before. We aren't going to be doing these in gunmetal for the simple reason that they are already offered in gunmetal. Our version will be lighter than even those! All your guys feedback is greatly appreciated!
