Are there no new hotboi wheel brands sub 2k anymore?

[Farzam]

I sell a ton of mono/2pc Work and cast Heritage wheels to my customers in that price point. I’m honestly not a fan of much else for s-chassis/related vehicles. I suppose Gram Lights are cool, and I sell them on occasion.

I don’t sell Kansei but I should. Chris is a cool guy.

I wish there were more offerings like the “good old days” but Rohana and Forgestar are the alternatives. I can get those too if you lack taste.

Also thanks mav1178 for your insight.

Just to bump this from the nether, Motegi picked up the Battle mold from MB and has reissued the Battle.

Am I the only one that thinks wheel manufacturers need to pay more attention to center caps and make them good looking? Those center caps drive me nuts.

Also, that dude Cody on facebook has chromed a few sets of these, and to be expected, they look excellent.

Most definitely not. The center caps absolutely kill it for me.

Don't run center caps.

Problem solved.

What do you guys think of the new-ish Work Emotion RS11?:




The 17" are 5x114.3 in custom offsets, but I've yet to see a pic in that size (15"/ 16" are only 4x100). I think the 17's in white would look pretty cool on a S13.

Center caps are terrible anymore. I like Advans minimalistic approach.

I mean nowadays you can 3D print center caps. Even if you don't want to do that, shitty ebay black center caps + vinyl stickers.

Can you link me to that Cody guy who does the wheel chroming?

Where are you getting these 57DRs for that price?
I legit had the same thought process as you.
I saw this thread after I purchased my wheels but I'm down to pick up a set of dedicated track wheels.

Agreed, thats why I had custom billet center caps made for my TE37. And it would be easier to get them chromed in the future.

His facebook Name is Cody Skree. His cover photo is a white JZX100

Even though this is true. CST are still available on YAJ and have their own mold since they stamped their logo on the wheel. Project Mayhem dude supposedly can get them but the last time I checked, he was asking $1200 for a pair or something.

My pair: https://www.instagram.com/p/CNGisBunw14/ (I wish it was easier to just post the IMG link)

For sure. My understanding was MB bought the rights to use the mold in the states from CST / I can?t remember their parent company.

MB then gave it up / sold it? to Motegi.

I have thought about making CST center caps for the battles, because the CST logo is cooler. I wonder if the center caps are interchangeable?

CST makes cool, affordable wheels. $1200 a pair is DUMB, but yeah use to you could import a set for not much more than battles haha.
