Introducing Schott Performance Wheels

[DriverzInc]

Driverz, Inc is proud to introduce to the G-machine and Pro-touring community, Schott Performance Wheels.

Schott Cover Loc wheels are made in America and are designed for those of us who appreciate technical innovation with unmatched quality that can only be achieved with state of the art manufacturing, the best materials available, and a passion for fit, form, and function.

Schott Wheel Company is a team of professionals with decades of experience in wheel manufacturing. They design, engineer and build all of their own original products and offer outstanding service and support.

Schott Cover-Loc wheels are custom built to be application specific. Each wheel is made with precisely machined components from Forged and Billet 6061-T6 Aluminum for light weight and strength.

All center nuts and nut wrenches are made of 6061-T6 aluminum and designed for a positive engagement with slip resistant operation. For a little extra, choose from a variety of finishes or even customize to suit.

Cover-Loc™ Wheels have been designed with specific hardware requirements and that’s why each set of wheels includes Drive-Loc hardware at no additional cost.

Custom built for most five lug applications (6 lug coming soon). Diameters available in 17”, 18” and 20”, up to 15” wide.

They have taken typically vulnerable components and designed them to be more durable and completely interchangeable. With removable threaded components, there’s no chance of damage during tire mounting and balancing.

[Fawkes]

That's a pretty smooth setup. I like it.

[HEMIDAYTONA]

I want the 1st free set!!! lol but the americana looks like something i could go with. pm sent

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

saiight..

[DriverzInc]

PM's have been returned with quotes. Build time is 2 weeks on a set.

These wheels are above and beyond anything else on the market right now. Careful attention has been put on all the details, and machine tolerances are tighter than any other wheel.

For example, the Venom wheel actually has a ball mill that runs along the backside of the spoke, making the wheel lighter, and better looking.

[ScotI]

For a little extra, choose from a variety of finishes or even customize to suit.

Like powder coated centers?
'As cast' type of finish w/a polished rim?
Up to 15" wide in what increments? (20x10, 11, etc....)

[Smock67]

its between the Axiom and the G5 for me hmmm but the Venom also looks good.

[DB Z28]

nice looking wheels

[DriverzInc]

YES, completely hidden lugs. Check out the video:

http://www.schottwheels.com/cover-loc.cfm

The caps are completely machined out of 6061-t6 with the tightest tolerances on the market. The cover loc is machined to match each wheel design. Under the cover-loc center cap, hides spline drive lug nuts. All hardware, including the machined wrench is supplied with the wheels.

There are three different options for the center nut. A spanner, hex, and crescent style:

And an optional authentic 3-bar spinner:

YES, there are finish options. Brushed, Polished, and Anodized. AND, a combo of anodizing and re-machined. This meaning the face of a wheel can be anodized, then the sides of the spokes can be re-machined and polished or brushed for a truly unique look, that no other wheel company is offering.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2007/12/center_various-1.jpg

And sizes "up to 15" would include 11, 12, 13...

[Smock67]

Ok heres a question for you. On the G5 say i wanted the main face anodized charcoal gray the same color as my car, but wanted the lip and the inside part of the spokes left chrome would that be possible?

[z4me69]

need a price quote on 18x9 and 18x12 americanas

[Bad94]

How are the prices compared to Bonspeeds, Boyds, Intros?

[mac71ss]

those wheels are sweet!!!

[TRILOGYZ28]

How are the prices compared to Bonspeeds, Boyds, Intros?

i am curious about this also ?

and no 22's ???

Yes, the face of the wheel can be anodized charcoal grey, and then re-machined the sides of the spoke and polished which will give the wheel the two tone center section. The rim lip will be polished.

As you can clearly tell, there is MUCH more machine time and engineering behind each Schott Wheel design. For example, the Camber wheel center is not only machined from the front side, but then turned around and machined from the backside. There is a ball mill that runs around the spoke area framing the backside of the spoke as well. This lightens weight where it can be shed, and adds for better apprearance. This is only one example. Also, the Cover-loc cover plate is machined seperately to match each specific design. And finally, Schott Performance sweats the details. You will begin to notice the extemely tight tolerances associated to there executed perfection. So comparing Schott wheels to Intro, or Bonspeed is comparing a Ferrari to a mustang. A mustang peforms pretty well, but it's no Ferrari.

Pricing you will find very reasonable considering the quality of the wheel. For a quote, email or PM.

The Ferrari is also out of reach ($) for most people as well.
PM sent for price quote . . ....

[DriverzInc]

ScotI-

Sent you a PM back with a quote. Wheel designs are priced specfic to design. The Velocity being on the high end because it is more machine intensive.

Agreed, but it really is apples to oranges. How about these terms then... it's like comparing an HRE to an Intro Wheel.

I think you're getting ahead of yourself Jon. The little details that make that wheel different don't make it better. More machine time doesnt make it a better wheel. Oh, and you can't compare a new company to a well established company. Let's see them sell a lot of wheels for a few years before they get compared to any reputable company.

[DriverzInc]

Your absolutely right, Brian, but extra machine time does make a difference if it is spent making the wheel function, and appear better than another. Schott wheels, while not recognizable to the general public as an established company, internally is run and operated by individuals whom have been manufacturing billet wheels for more than two decades. Bottom line, it's a high quality product, built for the high end enthusiast.

[IntroWheels]

Ya I know who is over there. I just want to make sure people know that just because a wheel is in the machine for an extra hour doesnt make it a better wheel. I also think that a new company should not be boasting so quickly and comparing itself to HRE or Intro. Bottom line, it's a new wheel company and no matter who is there, it's a new line with new products, and I think it's a little premature to start comparing this line to anyone who has been around for a decent amount of time.

[DriverzInc]

Okay, fair enough Brian. I have every confidence that once these wheels start showing up on high end cars that deserve and necessiate this kind of wheel, that it will prove itself without me saying a word. We'll let time tell.

[SSBOWTIES]

I would pay full price for a set of Schott Wheels before I'd take a free set from Intro.

Ouch...that's rather harsh.

How about posting up some weights to showcase your optimization efforts?

I'll work on a spread sheet and get back to you.

I can tell you this, the Velocity, in comparison to say a Budnik Muroc III is at least 3-5 lbs lighter.

How do these wheels fit up to the C6 rotors & calipers?

[DriverzInc]

How do these wheels fit up to the C6 rotors & calipers?

"Custom built to fit your application" which means custom built to fit around big brake caliper offsets and overall diameters, in the bolt pattern, diameter, and width you need. It's no problem.

[N2TRUX]

YES, there are finish options. Brushed, Polished, and Anodized. AND, a combo of anodizing and re-machined. This meaning the face of a wheel can be anodized, then the sides of the spokes can be re-machined and polished or brushed for a truly unique look, that no other wheel company is offering....

Greetings all. New to the forum, but not to hot rods. I followed a link from another forum and had to join in on this discussion.

I am curious why you chose to use an anodized finish rather than powder coating? Have you done any stability testing on these wheels to determine the durability of an anodized finish?

I bring this question up due to previous experience with anodized billet wheels that failed. I'm curious to know if you have done something to improve the stability of the process.
