    I find the project very interesting. Can you send me more information via PN? Is the company that manufactures the products ISO or TÜV certified, so that you can prove that the manufacturing process meets certain requirements? So I could consider getting the rims approved for Europe, especially Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Almost nobody rides illegal wheels here anymore, as the penalties are quite high and there are controls.

    Haha! Now that might be an interesting look to have these on the 430! Haha! If you were close, I'd say "Pop on over" and we'll put them on to see how it looks!

    Howdy, sir! I honestly embarked on this to have a set made for my car, but I've had quite a few people reach out to say they wanted a set - they are in transit right now, so once I get them and have them balanced, and driven on for a little, and can at least give some confirmation of at least a base-level quality, I'd def place another order for other people using my existing designs (or even make some alterations to have them exactly CS spec, as some others have requested)

    If they turn out like I'm expecting - I'd def do another order if you wanted in - I'll keep you posted.

    The manufacturer can have the wheels ISO 3006 or ISO 9001 certified for an additional fee - let me know what you need, and I’ll get an idea of the extra cost

    Great project, and they look good. A 19" starfish would definitely make me like them more on my 360. Having owned my 360 for 18 years, I've still just never warmed up to the stock 18" Starfish wheels.

    Awesome! Thanks! Yes, that’s the same with me - I kinda like the factory starfish, but never enough to put them on again! Ha! We’ll see if that extra inch gives them new life :)

    That depends on the definition of being "close" if your stateside that is going to be very difficult seeing im in Holland (EU) ;)

    haha - yeah, “close” but not close enough! Haha! If I find someone locally (Chicago) with a 430 willing to put a coupe on to see how they look (and to get some pics). - I’ll let you know!

    Wheels are finally in my hands - and I’m extremely thrilled with the quality of the wheel and finish (at least from initial inspections). I’ll include some pics and videos of the wheel and a comparison to the factory 18, but my car is currently in for service so I’ll have to wait for that to return before Im going to be able to get pics on the car (although, I will talk to a couple local buddies that might allow me to get some pics with them on their car).

    To those that asked, these can be ISO certified
