Default would you buy it?

would you buy a wheel that looks just like the Work Leadsleds? they would be in sizes from 15-20inch, and could come in as wide as 17x11.
they would be cheaper then the Works as well, till you start getting into the size 20 or so. And would be a lot easier to get. But average about $500 less a set and shipping would be less as well, they are made in the U.S.
they are cheaper, but not cheap wheels, made of billet aluminum.

I will have more info later, I just need a list of would you you be interested? Other designs would follow as well if enough interest. as well as parts like OH **** handles, oil caps, maybe even AC *****.

post up and let me know.

Yes, but it'll be a while before I have the money for wheels.

$500 for a set of 15"s? Nice.

How much would they weight?

I will be interested if they have a flat lip and not a stepped one. As clean as possible.

And fit flush with the fenders easily without mod.


Fantasy question: Can they be done with a reverse dish? So the dish arches out like a satellite dish instead of arching in.

I would be.

I called the company "intro" and they could custom make them but the price was pretty high ( for one set)

never thought of a group buy price

I am waiting to hear back from the company right now, they are looking into the cost for them to make them in 4x100.
I will let you guys know as soon as I find out more

I'm pretty sure they have to arch the way they do to clear the brake calipers.

any news on this? I'm running Nilos right now but have been wanting to go to 15"s. I'm interested but it obviously would depend on look and fitment (offset) etc. Riding on DF210s and don't want some crazy rubbing or etc.

no word yet, still waiting to hear back from the company on to see if it would be cost effective to make them for us.

thanx.
I am trying to see if they will make me a 15x8 with around a zero offset.
but they will and should be available in all those other sizes and offsets as well, that they all ready make that wheel in.
