New Wheel Interest

We are going to introduce a forged wheel that is lightweight and strong, It will be a special collaboration between us and a TOP wheel manufacturer. Right now we are thinking gloss black or matte black. But leaning toward gloss black. But that's where you guys come in!

We are looking for an aggressive sizes that will fit the crazy EVO 8/9 guys and also fit the EVO X guys! Here is size thoughts:

1st choice 18x9.5+22 with GTR face

2nd choice 18x9.5 +27 with GTR face

3rd choice 18x10.0 +20 with GTR face


We know and understand that these sizes are all super aggressive and not for the faint at heart, but they are only going to make 5 sets TOTAL for the craziest of the crazy. After that they will be no more.

The wheel will have some decals and accents. We are wondering would you want?

Black

Blue

Gold

Pink

Gloss Black or Matte Black?

Feedback?

What would it take to fit a 18x9.5+22/27 on a Evo? I would be down for either of those sizes. Personally matte black is my favorite. Depending on what the rim looks like I would be interested. I'm tired of seeing the same rims.

Personally, I'd be interested in the 18x10 +20 with either gold or blue accents. Either black will do. Can't wait to see what you all have planned!

18x9.5 +22 is almost bolt on for Xs.... fits easily with little work. On a 8/9 it takes more work.

18x10 +20 is probably best size and medium for both.

I say make Gunmetal... why all the black?

Just a heads up that this is a pre-existing wheel design that we are getting a special edition done for us in 5 sets. No one will doubt that these are the real McCoy. We are leaning toward gloss black because matte black has been done quite a bit. We need to nail down accent colors, we like the black but its not our first choice to see a black on black design. So we are thinking that RED may be a possibility as well. We have to ask! Help us out!

IMHO it really depends what the design is, you said "pre-existing", so can you give some input? 6 spoke? 5 spoke? mesh? teddy bear?

"GTR face" returned this on google:



I dont want my rim looking like that.

Black with gold accents gets my vote too. I'm tired of seeing the same color scheme coming from all the "custom" color rims. Everytime it's freaking Matte black or Gloss Black. Like come on how many rims on the market are that color. This one needs to be unique like Gold, pink, white, or blue. Hell even Titanium silver will make it look nice. We need some kind of concept wheel design picture to get people's interest, I don't want another advan RS replica.

I'll go for 18x10 +20 good track setup.

I know I'm alone on this, but i'm tired of black wheels! I think they especially look weak on the rally red Evo. Oh wells...
