I'm excited to announce two brand new designs for 2011 available immediately in any size and finish. There's plenty of time to have these on your ride in time for the Spring thaw and driving season.

Also of note is our new icon logo on the centercap which will be optional within the next month or two.

As with all of our wheels, the hardware is totally optional and they are all available in 2 or 3 piece construction

First up is the Black Widow and the first set that went on Chris Holstrom's 68 Camaro being built for a client. See those big Baer 6 piston brakes? We can set you up with those too. Ask about package deals.

Next up is the Battery. A clean and simple 5 spoke yet stylish with a certain amount of detail.

As many people know, we've had the Night Train and Trooper available for almost a year now but didn't get them on the website in a timely manner so just a reminder that they are available for mass consumption too!

A big thank you to Ron Wilson from www.hoodpins.net for all his hard work making all the 3d models of all of our designs for the soon to be updated website and catalog. Having Ron make the models is far more cost effective for us than manufacturing each wheel in each finish and professionally photographing them so if you have a similar need, Ron is your guy.

Good looking Jason. Knew about the other two, but the Battery looks great as well. Is there a price change? We'll update our site too.

They look great Jason, We need to get the images up on our website. A fresh look is always welcome.

Great job. Not to be too cliched, but you have done a great job of re-inventing some of the classic wheels out there. You added a tasteful amount of modern styling, but not so much that they wouldn't be right at home on a classic car.

Thanks Stephen. Glad what we're trying to do is well conveyed.

Black Widow is awesome. I've been waiting to see pics of this wheel for months now. I'd love to see what it would look like in an 18 with flat gunmetal center, brushed stepped lip and exposed black hardware.

I like the Battery a lot too. The step on the edges of the spokes looks awesome. I love the way that Vette looks too. That style wheel would definitely look good on 2nd gen TAs.

We can now do 2 piece step lips in 17, 18, and 20" diameters and 3 piece step lips in 19, 20 and 21 inches for all sizes.

Thanks Chris, glad you like it. Sounds like you have it all figured out! We're ready to build them exactly like that whenever you say the word. The fronts on the Camaro Chris is building are 18s with 19" rears. Step lip 18s would have slightly smaller centers.

Jason, The chiseled look of the Black Widow is killer. Great detail on the center hub as well. One of the few wheels that I like that looks better with a charcoal or graphite spokes.
Your new logo is a great addition, well thought out. Will they be available separately?

We have a problem. I am looking at 18-19 step lip.... Would I have to do a 2 piece front and a 3 piece rear?

Thanks John. Yes, the new logo caps will be available for replacement if anyone wants to update. They're $25 each and will be available soon.

Chris, if you absolutely have to have step lips, we can do 3 piece 18s and 19s or 2 piece 18s but if you want to run 18s and 19s, I would recommend smooth lips.
