I know there's probably no way to know this yet seeing as none have actually been manufactured yet, but do we have a possible weight on these yet? I've been debating if I want to sacrifice a little on the looks for the sake of weight to save a little at the pumps and recover a bit of oomph behind the skinny pedal (thinking Konig Countersteer X...still an excellent looking wheel), or just go with what I think looks best
Unfortunately, weight hasn't been determined yet. I post this info up once I know an exact weight on it. We'll know for sure once the mold is created and we actually produce our first sample.
Whether it's our wheels or another company's wheel, I always tell people to go with their instincts. You can never go wrong.
ahhhhhhhh i wanted to go white with my white runner
I knew I saw a white one LOL! There should be a white wheel. ....maybe I would purchase.
Although, we won't be offering white as one of our official finishes, if you guys can get about 10 folks to commit, I can make it happen for you guys and do a small custom order when we place our order. There wouldn't be no additional charges if we go with this route. There would just be a little bit of a wait.

I'm sure you're too far along for some suggestions but here are some questions/suggestions that I get asked at the shop. Maybe these can help with future development on other wheels.
1. Are the rings removable? This would allow for replacement if they were damaged (for those of us that wheel our trucks). And it allows for easier cleaning (if there is a lip). It will also allow for color customization.
2. Offer the wheels in raw form at a discount. That will allow for the end user to get them powder coated/painted at their own expense. You wouldn't believe how many of my customers buy new wheels and turn around and change the color.
3. Make the beadlock bolts removable. Even if the rings aren't. Too many people paint or change the bolts. At least the ones that like the wheel but don't like the beadlock look.
Great looking wheel. I'm still debating on selling my wheel and tire combo to go with your stealth6s. Not sure if I can get it all done before I head out to Portland.
Suggestions and comments are always welcome and appreciated.
1. Unfortunately, the ring is not removable. My initial design was to make it removable, but doing so would have made our price point too high. Our goal is to always offer a high quality and well designed wheel at an affordable price. So in the end, I had to scrape the idea of making the ring removable.
2. This is a possibility, but we haven't has enough request thus far to make this an option. I think that the finishes that we offer are somewhat unique compared to other wheel companies.
3. The bolts will be removable. I was thinking along the same line. Since we couldn't offer a removable ring, I was determined to at least make the bolts removable and give people this option.
There's always a fine line of what we should/can offer and keeping a product affordable and reasonable. I try to balance this out as best as possible so in the end there's a happy medium. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!
