 Hey everyone I-m with 6061forged.com an advertiser on ClubSciontC.Com and was wondering what finishes or colors do you wish wheel companies would offer? What about any different combinations (ex. white lip w/ gold center?) If you guys want, post a combination and I will have our photoshop guy render it. Have fun with this and get creative we are hoping to get some good input out of this. Thanks everyone!-Tom 6061forged.com

 You know what I would absolutely LOVE - your 19- mesh wheels with only the center face painted Black Sand Pearl. So basically, the lip and the inside of the cutouts would be polished while the surface of the face is Black Sand Pearl. It would look amazing from an angle, where you could see the polished inside of the cutouts contrasting the painted face. Offering factory Scion colors like Black Sand Pearl and others would be cool.

 I would love to have rims match my car... i would really consider IIP rims with a polished lip...... maybe a 5 star design like the racing harts... would look great...

 Check out their website if you haven-t already TRD_tC - their lightest 19- wheels look kind of like the Racing Harts but they only weigh 15lbs!!! Yeah, they would definately look hot in IIP. My tC is Azure Pearl and I would love wheels the way I described above, in Black Sand Pearl.I just thought of this - It might also look sick having the wheels highly polished but the lip the same color as the car. This would probably look best on the lighter colors. Something different...could start a trend.

 great concept! I like the A5, but like the look of the Rays Wolf 2pc wheels. How about the A5-s with polished lip and a gunmetal finish and black center cap? You should also offer wheels in 18-, that-s has big as I want to go.

I don-t think so at all. These are high-end lightweight rims whatever finish you choose.

 Are they-re any plans for new wheel styles?

 Yes actually we are workin on several things. One is the adding of 18- versions of all of our current designs. Also we are engineering a multi-spoke design (10-12 small strait spokes). Our biggest project right now is our two-piece wheels. Multi-piece wheels tend to be extremely heavy (even the Japanese stuff) so we have developed a new way of building the wheels that will shave quite a bit of weight off of the wheel (around 5-8lbs lighter) and look like nothing that has been seen before, they will be wild! They will initially be available in 19- and 20- sizes for Nissan 350Z, Infiniti G35, Porsche (all except Cayenne), Mercedes AMG models (different offsets than their non AMG counterparts), Scion TC, Honda Accord, Acura TL/RL/RSX, BMW 3 series/M3, Lexus IS300/250/350.
