Interested. Still the 3.5"bs with 17x9? And how close are you to reaching order threshold?
Thanks Brian

Fit factory disc brakes?

Jason, on these 17 x9's I was wondering with the 3.5 inch backspacing do you know if they will fit the factory disc brake setup? Would I still need 1/4 inch spacers? Last will you be offering center caps and lugnuts? I'm definitely interested. Thanks

Any updates on the trial set?
I will remind Jason to look here to answer questions, he is very busy. The reasons for the 3.5 offset is when you use stock 77 knuckles and tie rod over with stock wheel BS of 3 3/4" the tie rod ends will rub the wheel weights off. That shouldn't be a problem with the 17" wheels but the extra 1" does not give you 1 more inch of clearance in or out, only up. The other reason is with more BS the sooner the tires will hit the radius arms. Also the less the offset the more leverage is put on the wheel bearings and the more the tire sticks out. But we only get to pick 1 offset per 200 wheels ordered and we feel that the 3.5" BS will fill the needs of the most people.

I am definitely interested in a set of these, but I really want to see a set of them under a truck. Also as someone else has posted, how many pre orders do you have?

I called a couple of weeks ago to inquire and they had 7 sets pre-sold.

Sorry I was referring to the disc brakes were on the way.
I will not have the wheels until we sell enough to order them then they will be shipped all at the same time. I will not have any samples
I may be interested in a set of 5. I'll be watching to see how they work out on you rig for fit and appearance.

Thats ok, I'm still very interested. What will be the 50% down price for a set of 5? To whom and in what form would you like the payment. I will need this price to talk it over with my accountant (wife).;D

Base on the interest thus far. How long do you anticipate it will take to get to 200 wheels?

Thanks,

Fred

based on my basic math gnstream if you and I buy in they will be juuuust shy of half way.

Sure does, I hope others will buy in. I would like to have my set buy this fall. That's about the time I'll be ready for them.

New info as of today the molds are done, now and they are starting production.
So we should have them soon.
So if you want wheels call and get your order in. They will not build any more until the first 200 are sold, then they will re-cast more so it will be a while before more are available.
