The final product will have a cap on it, so it will look as real as it can get. We will start production tomorrow afternoon, as soon as we finish making the big USA One wheels.

We probably can ship early next week.

If you guys want to get a black verison, please post here, so we know how to many we need to send to get anodized.

Should make them with 8 lugs. Real F350s are 8 lugs, not 6.


Gonna make 1.9 beadlocks at all?

I would agree Hua These should be an 8 lug version wheel. Also put me down for a few sets for the Shop 1 black and 1 silver. Any plans on a beadlock version?

Toyotas are 6 lug :banana:

Now that I see the design, and look at my other set of wheels for my full size fj40, I might have to pick up a set of this design. Will you be selling them in sets of 5, as well as sets of 4? My truck needs a spare :)

We estimate the price will be $99 for 4. Price is not firm yet.

We will change to 8 lugs. The screws that hold the center cap is 2.5mm.

Too much.:lolbeat: Your beadlocks cost $10 more and I'm sure require more material and machining time. I wouldnt pay more than $60. This is just my opinion:lolbeat:

How about you adapt this design into a 2.2 wheel or a different design of wheel but also include the center cap in those? If you were to expand your wheel variety i think people would be more willing to pay the price you ask. I own a set oof your original 2.2 beadlocks and am very happy with those but you only have the one look design. I know you have the different offsets but the face looks the same on them. MaI would shell out a bit more money for a set of 2.2s Like these or even 1.9 in these.

Rc4wd: One day maybe can you consider rather then the word 4wd in there to make the top of the cap the illusion of a locking hub. The ultimate set would have a locking hub on the front set of wheels and a full floating hub on the rear set. Then you would have created the ultimate set of realistic caps for wheels.

Heres an example of a locking hub, simulating the lines would be sweet. A rear hub would be the same without the dial section. It would just have the bolt holes around the ring.

Hua, I'm assuming the holes in the rim would be threaded since it would be difficult to mount that with bolts while on the vehicle.

rc4wd

Yes it is threaded

Etype R

Could you make some without the threaded holes and cap? 3mm cap head screws are way to big for a 1.9 wheel.

rc4wd
11-27-2006, 10:27 AM
The screw is 2.5mm. Doing with the cap would be even easier, let's get this one done first, then we do a patch without.

the 3racing semi wheels i got are beautiful with the center caps, but maybe they are 2mm cap screws? im not sure but they dont look too big, they look really good. are the threads gonna be sae or metric? microfastners has ss bolts with hex heads in sae sizes. i want to try these on a build instead of cap screws, but on the wheels it would look like lug nuts.:banana:

Sounds good, I have all winter to find a set of wheels for my winter project :)

Most our products are metrics, we did look at 2mm screws, but we thought it might not be strong enough. We will take a look at it again tomorrow.

Electrohacker

2mm should be strong enough if all it's doing is holding a cap on... especially if there's eight of them

The wheel are done, but we had hard time to find M2.5x6 screws for the center caps.

Otherwise we can ship right away.

We have been trying to longer screws and cut it shorter.

You should try AAA metric, denver colorado for the screws.

Good prices and they usually have good small stock.\
