Introducing the new "Trigger" from NewGen!
Shown here in 19x9.5. The center is powder coated Race Gold, and the outer is Step Lip, and chrome.
Wheel is available in all our 3 piece sizes, 18"-22" Soft Lip, and 19" and up in Step Lip.
This wheel is also available in our 2 piece "Street Series", 17"-22"!
Anyone want to take a stab at how much it weighs???? I"ll mail out a NewGen sticker to the first right guess!

21.6 lbs. Congrats on another hammer. At this pace, I am going to have to build a project for every New Gen wheel I like. The Anarchy, the Lite, the 500 and now this one. That's a rational thought right?

Close guesses, yes in the low 20's.... No, not 22.
Thanks for the compliments everyone, we got a lot of input on this wheel during development of the design from some of our good customers, one of which is Matt Alcala, so a big thank you goes out to Matt!

No Columbus this year. With the Nova project, SEMA, the birth of my daughter, money and time are SPENT. Also, that same weekend is the Hotchkis/ Baer autox in Fontana, and we're planning on going to that since its in our backyard.

Thanks Jon! It isn't very often that a person gets to walk in and say, "let's make a wheel" and then have a builder bounce ideas back and forth and go through several revisions until we're both happy.

Does that mean you will be using this wheel Matt?

Why yes, Dave, it does :naughty:
...and hopefully my father will be getting behind the wheel of this car a track
Hint: the NewGen Tiggers are going on something that is only 40" tall.

Pantera? No idea how tall one is, but I am just thinking these wheels would look killer on a Pantera.

That's a great call. Pantera would look tits with these.
I know Matt was working on a Mustang... I think... but that ain't 40" tall... hmmmm

No Pantera. I do love those though.These wheels might look cool on Shaun Dove (Twinsting)'s Pantera, but that won't ever be wearing anything other than a set of ridiculously nice one-off Evod wheels. As for my Mustang, it is on the back burner for now, ever since I realized I had a 15k engine that wouldn't fit in a 5k car. Instead, the engine, a blown, aluminum 5.4 4v, is going in something my dad has liked since 1965 *hint, hint*.
Anyway, Justin told me that he has the wheels mocked up on his car, so he better post pictures!

Keep guessing! It is about half the size of a Galaxy. I can't say too much without you guys picking up on it right away.
Next hint: if you add a couple zeros onto the weight of the NewGen triggers, you'll get within 100lbs of its weight.

We have a winner!
the car will be getting a set of centerlock/knock off wheels.
BTW I had to go up to Driverz today to change out some broken valve stems and got to see the wheels under Justin's car. They look totally bitchin'
Matt
p.s. They also fit perfectly under Justin's car. Imagine that...

I believe the event is July 8-10th with autocrossing taking place on Saturday and Sunday. Definitely head out. It should be fun, and a big thanks goes out to Hotchkis for working to get us an autocross!
