Introducing Option Lab Wheels | Wheels specifically designed for the EVO community

With over 20 years of experience in aluminum alloy wheel manufacturing, Option Lab Wheels is the newest line under Wheel Supply Systems Inc. With the most innovative and technologically advanced machining Option Lab Wheels are made to endure both long term use on track and on street.
Quality is our number one priority, therefore, we offer a limited lifetime structural warranty on all our wheels.
Introducing our first line of wheels - Option Lab S401 we have spent countless hours testing the S401 on the race track, the great styling and top quality finish will upgrade your EVO to a whole new level.

Below, you will find a video of us out at Buttonwillow Raceway Park in California.

A few words from our existing customers:
one of a few companies that has excellent customer service...eventually will be using this company for another set for the Massimo Power GF Suspension Siuperben Racing Evo X
a great group of guys that are willing to go the extra mile for you 24/7. Love these guys. They have not let me down. Have to love Option Lab Wheels for their willingness to take care of their clientele.



Below are a few pictures of different EVO Xs with our wheels installed!










Some EVO VII/IX






Here are some pictures of our wheels on a FC that's build to compete in Formula D:

What is the weight on these?
Cost? (Say in a 18x9.5 +22)
These seem very similar in design to the rota grids

A few questions about your upcoming wheel lineup:

1. Will you only offer cast wheels? (any forged wheels?)
2. Will all the wheels be knock-offs of legendary JDM wheels? Volk, Advan, etc.
3. What sets your wheels apart from the other guys who make similar cast wheels modeled after name-brand wheels?

You have to admire a great company that is willing to take care of its customers. A great thing of Option Lab is that their wheels have been utilized on the track and are daily driven - they take a lickin' and keep on tickin'. Speak to David or Dennis. These guys will take great care of you; they will have an idea and understand your needs because they daily drive with and race with wheels that they sell to the public. Personally, I will be utilizing them and their wheels for this year's tarmac rally and track weekend season. I feel very confident competing with these wheels and feel very confident in the company.

We do offer forged wheels, however, not under this particular brand. We offer forged wheel as the OEM wheel for a certain brand of off-road vehicle which I am not allowed to mention to the public.
We strive ourselves on quality. A brand that is developed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. If you have been to multiple track days, you will come to an understanding that things break. Therefore, our aim is to provide wheels for the true automotive enthusiasts, especially the weekend racers, that love to track their own cars but do not have sponsor(s) paying for all of their expensive parts.

Yes, you definitely need to speak with Dennis or David...the MSRP may be as such, but once you talk to them, I'll just say that you will be impressed...it is the concept of "what is understood, does not need to be discussed." It will make sense after the first conversation...and you'll like them and you'll like your wheels!!!
