Hey guys we were looking to expanding into some new creative designs. So far we've come up with these 2 designs and wanted your thoughts prior to us following through with them. We aim to build wheels for our customers and this is why your opinion matters to us. Let us know your thoughts.

Let us know your thoughts guys

This one looks really cool and I would like to see as concave as you can make it for a C5:

The SS will only take deep concave in 22". 20" does not offer enough clearance for the brakes.

I think the first design may benefit well from a little recessed accents on the outside edges of the spokes. I like the 2nd design more because it really looks nice and concave. If I could afford them I'd definitely pick up a nice concave set!

I can't decide how I feel about #1, it feels close but not there yet. I don't like #2.

Ironheadspearo · 01-17-2011, 04:57 PM

#2 although looks like it would be almost a direct copy of the savini rim with a few more spokes. also would be fun to wash and clean those. I think they are nice though and something I am interested in.

I personally agree. I have the none twist/concave version of this wheel on my car and it looks completely different in the concave forging. Especially with the twist to it. But over all I think it looks good. #2 is a little busy for my taste JMO

Umm I'm not sure what wheel you're referring to but if it's the one I'm thinking they're nothing alike. One is a Multi spoke while ours is a mesh design. The designs originated form our own AXIOM line.

Love #1, insanely sexy.

NASCR3 · 01-17-2011, 08:14 PM

I Agree #1 Is sexy, and if I were choosing I'd go that route. However one thing that bothers me about the majority of after market wheels lately is all of the exposed bolts holding them together. If there was a way to have those bolts on the inside and give the facing side a cleaner look I'd be on board all the way. Now admittedly I know nothing about the wheel manufacturing process, but if it were possible I think it would make for a much sexier design.

like the first 1!

Kilo-9 · 01-17-2011, 10:20 PM

#1 seems...er...umm...not sure. I can't put my finger on it...it's just a tweak away from sharp.

#2 is definitely too busy for my tastes, but it does show-off the concavity.

*Mindz* · 01-18-2011, 01:27 AM

#1

#2

I'm all about the concave wheels, and I like that it's a different design than standard mesh.

The second one is somewhat bland imvho.

ron8879 · 01-18-2011, 11:06 AM

with no offfense meant...im not digging them...the first looks like it was a early 90's pontiac design...and the second to me looks like an option wheel for a chrysler town and counrty....again...not mean meant by this just giving you feedback

John the beauty of our line/s is that you can do that. If you take a look at some of my designs on my site you will notice some are blind bolt. We also have our AXIOM line which is solely built on blind bolts to offer this very look you speak of.

What exactly do you (as well as everyone else) think needs to be tweaked on this design?

If we removed 1 or 2 spokes from that wheel would it look better?

No offense taken. This is exactly why we made this thread. We want your feed back since it's you guys who we cater too.

Any other advice guys?
