15x9 superlights round 2. EOI

[AJPS]

Howdy guys

I know ive talked about this before

Now Ive got a few issues that were slowing progress on these sorted, I want genuine EOIs.

Ive been getting quite a few enquiries so hopefully this works out.

Yes its a lot of $ and a long way off, but

I really want this to happen and I have support.

The plan is to that them cast as a -8 to 0 offset wheel.

Have them cast as a lighter style (GTR without the machining)

Still the same 8 spoke style.

Who would be genuine interested.

Also this way I can offer 15x8 and 15x9 staggers and 15x9 and 15x10 staggers.

Will still be able to be drilled in any stud pattern and any colour finish.

So who would like a pair of reasonably light, 15x9 low off set locally made superlights?

Also this will also include another run of the 14x8 hurricanes.

Post away....

[KurtHS]

Yes me!

[ke_70]

read my mind dave!

im looking to get a set of 15s for the ma61 soon but its to much of a jump from the 15x8 to the 10s.

ill deffently be in if the 10s dont fit my car so im a mabey...

[Matt-AE86]

Depending on price. I think the offset you are aiming for is good for stock gaurds. Let us know Dave. :)

[fantapants]

in like flynn....

[Konakid]

You already know im keen!

[nathan_nowlan]

yeah me 2 would like some for my ae86 how much

[dori_86]

will they be a concaved face design like the 10's or dish with a flater spoke design?

[AJPS]

^ some where in the middle I would say

As soon as I have all the figures I will post prices

This should be good!

[ae86]

pitty they dont come in 14 :( il take a pair of the hurricanes most likely though if theres an order.

[bigm]

will this be a one off like the hurricaines or available for order in the future like 8s and 10s are now?

[4agte70]

I'd be keen pending price

[sotiros86]

Keen pending price

[Adsie]

Would be keen for a pair.

[Dish]

Keen pending price. Love my current GTR's, would love them to be 9's

[Beau]

keen.

[meadan]

yep id be up for some

[AJPS]

will hopefully have more details by the end of the week, but sounds promising so far

[coFF33]

Will buy a set for sure!!!!!!!
15x9 -8 would be amazing.

[86TRD]

would deffinatly be keen.

[ksev20v]

I'll be after a set mate

[Brenton 86]

Yeah mate!

[vinnyholmes]

im keen. pics? price? when? hussle!

[Hachi_Tom]

pity you dont sell wider hurricanes :( or any wider wheels in 14's

[hollywood89]

+1 14's ftw


pity you dont sell wider hurricanes :( or any wider wheels in 14's

[blake.]

And another +1 on 14x9's

[AJPS]

there is such a small market for 14s tho.

the 15s can go on gazelles, s13, r31, celica, ma61 etc etc. And of course ae86

I will have another 40 14x8 -10 hurricanes in about 3 weeks if anyone is keen?

[AJPS]

UPDATE:

Went for my meeting today.

I will have a sample in 3 weeks.

If all is good and im happy with it I will be asking for deposits then.

Pricing im still not sure of, the most the die can be is $45000, but if another one is able to be used then it will bring the cost down quite a lot.

Im expecting them to be about $375 per wheel at this stage $720pr or thereabouts and $1400 a set.

The best thing about them,

Aust made
If you smash one you can replace it with one wheel

I will be posting on datsun/nissan/ford forums soon

Keep the interest coming

[blake.]

Fair enough. Well I may be interested in the hurricanes 14x8 depending on price

[R&D Mechanical]

Shit thats a good price, the more people that are keen the cheaper it gets

[AJPS]

indeed!

gonna put it on other forums soon

anyone a member on datsun skyline forums?

Dont post it till i confirm a few things tho

[phil-720]

wouldnt mide getting a look at the 15x8s and 15x9s very keen on a set pending look of rim

[AJPS]

Yeah no worries, i will take a pic of a car with the 15x8 and 15x9 as soon as I get a sample

as these are made in australia we have a lot better control

[phil-720]

sounds good if they look the goods il more than likely get a set of each

[AJPS]

no worries mate


there seems to be enough people interested in avoiding the china/phillo imports and these should definitely get the go ahead!

[R&D Mechanical]

Should test fit them on my car haha

[AJPS]

yes, i will be using your car and a stock car so people can see how they fit

will need a sprinter too

[KKUSTOM]

dibs on the sprinter :) txt me dave

[AJPS]

sweet will look good on that for sure

[A.k.]

After a set, pending price...

[AJPS]

yeah no worries

I want people to have a quality locally made option for wheels

[*E7*]

Not to be a rude smartarse knowitall c_nt, but why not have a "superlite" style cast alloy centre made that would suit being made into both 14 and 15" 3 pce wheels?

then offsets can be limitless, and you appeal to the widest market. half rims can be purchased to repair damage, or widen rims as necessary.

I would be keen to hear of your thoughts on this scenario. I do know a metal spinner that currently makes quality heat treated 6061 alloy wheel halves with no minimum quantities. (approx $130-150 per half any offset any style centre)

-Dave

PS if this is possible, alternative centres could be offered sometime in the future...

[ke_70]

because 3 peice superlites look shit

[blake.]

Well said clay.

[A.k.]

How far off do you think the wheels will be from distribution?

[AJPS]

No, im waiting for my sample. due late this week before I make any decisions

[86TRD]

Hope you go ahead.

[AJPS]

so do i, i really do!

[A.k.]

Ok great, can't wait to see what the look like on a hatchi!

[frankiemillion]

ill be in for at least a set maybe 6 or 8 even

[AJPS]

no worries will keep ya posted!

[AJPS]

[20v ae71]
