THESE! Close to originals and Compomotives Someone who has import experience should do a group buy Image Unavailable, Please Login
Those look nice Bill, where from? I'd prefer a more concave center but these are still very nice. Hard to tell if you are being serious or funny-- in case the former, I was prepared to pay up to $1000 for a set and even if you are too I don't think the numbers are there for a minimum order. The Lister Bell wheels were about £2000/set when they were available-- they were 2-piece welded together. I think the way to get these made in small numbers is with standard 2-piece barrels and a custom cast or machined coffin-spoke center disk. The screws could be on the inside so not visible.
I have Route Nori D20 but these are 15" however they do a group B wheel in 15" and 16" not dissimilar to the compomotive wheels. http://www.norigomme.it/ruote.php
Image wheels did some Stratos style wheels (Billet 81 classic build) https://www.imagewheels.co.uk/three-piece-billet-alloy-wheels/
JOVA forged wheels from China, they say they can do any width, offset, pattern, etc. When I inquired earlier this year a set was just under $2k, but then there was about $500 shipping and there has to be some import duty too. The set shown I believe are 7.5 and 10 inch for a Mondial, so a 308 set would have more depth http://www.jovawheels.com/forged-wheels_c23
Mk e is having some really nice wheels made, he posted the details on the thread below. He’s making 18s for his 308 and I’m having 17s made. I’m stoked. Here is what mine will look like. Contact Mk e if you want in. V-12 Engine into 308 Build, over on Grassroots
I checked and forged would be around $1600 a set. The advantage is that they can be different designs front and back-- 8" front and 9-10" rear (not as deep as this picture though!) I'm still waiting for cast prices and MOQ but the mould cost is $6k so would probably only do one design 17x8" Image Unavailable, Please Login
i can't help but think that my steering rack wore out faster (@49K) because ive got the HRE 505's w/ 225/50/16's on the front. ive got 245's on the rear and that seems like enough
I think the 275s (and bigger) look out of proportion on the 3X8 and I worry about the other links in the chain but tastes are different (I’ve seen several with wings on the back
If any one is interested in going WIDE, I still have this set... Fronts: 17x8.5 with 225/45-17 Rears: 17x10 with 255/40-17 Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Definitely serious about trying to get a set of these coffins. Being funny about the % discount on the group buy. Are those in your possession? I have not. I think these are the same wheels that are on the David Lee Dino Evo.
I got the drawings and renderings back from the forged wheel manufacturer and this is what they can do given the constraints of their current forged blanks. To get the deeper rear spokes will require new moulds which is only viable for 100+ wheels. I am thinking of getting the front design (spoke protrude into the lip area) but with 17x8 front and 17x9 rear. They may be able to do 16", they are still looking for suitable blanks. Price will be approx $1300 plus shipping and duties (probably $1600 delivered.) Let me know if you are interested via pm or email to derekrwhite at yahoo.com. I am ordering my set soon so there may be some cost savings for UK/EU people if you let me know asap.
