Minilite, Panasport, or V48 in 18"+ sizes yet?

[RYU]

I finally did the first long drive after the build and the rollers I have on there simply won't work. I know this gets asked every so often but does anyone out there make minilite type wheels in 18+ sizes yet?

I seem to remember Rushforth was working on something like this but haven't heard anything about it.

Yeah, the UK exchange rate blows...

Team III is supposedly working on 18" minilite reps. I am running theirs in 17". They are beautiful pieces.

You can't come up with a response like that and not post for all to see.

Seriously though, what do you guys have in the works???

Those are great. Disappointing Forgeline wont make them for mass consumption. I am guessing Agent 47 will only do mustang fitment?

[RYU]

Roger,

If I remember that was on the matte black Mustang @ Sema for the gents that do the Rapid Protyping? That's exactly the look i'm hoping for or something similar.

[RYU]

yes, this one.

[Roger M]

I would be disspointed if these dont go into 'mass' production. I bet there is A Lot of interest in these due to the big resemblance to the original Minilites. The only problem I think would be cost for most people.

Seems a bit time consuming to mill those round center spokes. I'm sure these aren't cast alum.

Justin - wake up buddy we'd like some pics! lol

[JustinB]

So here is a little sneak peak into the new Lite wheel New Gen will be rolling out here shortly. The wheel is CNC machined forged 6061-t6 billet aluminum with all the finish options you guys have to come to expect! Sizes available from 17-22" diameter and 7-15" width!

[JustinB]

Here are a couple pics of a 19" raw center! Please keep in mind that these are not a finished product!

[RYU]

wow... i might be getting wood here so I hope you're not teasing. i'll work with you on pricing. budget is my next constraint.

[Merlin]

Are you taking deposit for the new wheels? I'll take a 18x9.5 & 18x11 size! I've been waiting for a long time for someone to make a mini-lite style wheel.

Cliff, absolutely! We are very excited about the new Lite wheel. As far as sizes go, as with most 2 piece billet wheels, .5" sizes are not available. We could do a 18x9 and 18x11 for you no problem. Just keep in mind the anything over a 10" wide hoop would require us to send the hoops out to be widened for you. Give me a call at the shop tomorrow and I will put some prices together for you.

You guys will be filling a niche that has been missing. This will definetly be a great seller.
