this answer the question...



and yes, it now has full euro bumpers, and a lot more work done... it will debut with a new look this spring

Hahaha Damn good Luck with that
i saw it on the news today

So back from the dead.... and just a quick tease till the debut on may5 at staggered



something in this pile is getting mocked up on the e21 this weekend... The amount of work that went into this set is staggering, but it will truly be a "one off". Coolest thing is that we devised a "sandwiched face mount" solution. Ill explain further soon, but its a pretty cool way to build a wheel..

Every set of wheels. UNNGGHHHHH.

[1badg35]

yeah thats only a small part of the finished collection sitting in the space ready to assemble.. luckily everything is almost complete on all of the wheel sets so that i can get back to the build on the cars... 4 cars to finish up in 4 weeks = gun to head

[absentee]

thanks guys. its actually a 4 piece (sandwiched face mount) off of a 70s ATS barock wheel. insane amount of work into this would be an understatement. its now 5x120 with a 72mm cb, and went from a 14" 1 piece forged wheel to a 16x9 4 piece forged wheel.

more info will be up soon and I will explain how the design actually works. Its pretty cool what went into this particular set to make it stronger then say an RS. I plan on putting a full writeup up on the blog, and some test fits on the car as well (happened yesterday but making adjustments to perfect the fitment) before I drop any teaser images


thats an untouched image of the face color btw. in the sun it sparkles and looks like liquid champagne.. its a ridiculous powder mix, but very subtle to contrast the bright copper e21

Those look like mercedes barock wheels my friend had a set made for himself

[aLaFleur]

I've been wanting to build a set of those for a while now. Looks sick.
