    Those look awesome! Are you going to make any in e36 fitment?

    Also, I wouldn't completely ditch the Hyper Black. I think it looks good, but maybe add a bit more black to it. Not much, because its close, but maybe a little bit more.

      Very interested in those wheels.

      I'd sell my Works in a fucking heartbeat for those.

      Work Emotion CR-Kais in 17 x 8 4 x 100 ET 25 anyone?

        Gary,

        These wheels are actually designed for e36 guys first because of the wheel it is based of off.

        I have samples off the following wheel fitments:

        17x8" et38 (same size as original)
        17x8" et20 (e30 m3/ 5er fitment)
        17x8.5" et40 (e36 and up)
        17x9" et42 (e36 and up)

        The first shipment will include the e30 m3 wheel and the 17x9 et42 wheels which are extremely popular as a track fitment with 255's or 245's. With the other sizes to follow in the second shipment.

        About color: I won't personally pursuit Hyper Black further. We know what it looks like, and its darkness is determined by how much silver is sprayed over the black. They told me months ago that their is inconsistency in the process so the first wheel painted can look different from the last because of how many layers are sprayed. Hyper silver is consistent. If people sign up for Hyper Black and we reach the minimum then I'll have it produced.

        So far no 5 lug guys from here have signed up lol.

          Talk to mystikal, but I'd think for the 4 lug guys, 17 x 8 ET 20 would be perfect as well.

            Oh okay, that makes sense. I didn't understand the hyper black procedure, but now I do.

            ;)

            I may have to sign up anyway for some 17x8.5 et40

                Haha, I'm okay with waiting. I don't have enough money right now to buy all the things I want anyway.

                      I had them design it to accept the OEM BMW roundel caps. I forget which size sticker fits the plastic cap. I'll let you know ASAP.

                            No time frame right now technically. It's not something that can be done until I receive the 5 lug wheels. Mold changes would need to be made. so the soonest we could have them if it is possible, would be in 4-5 months. Which is actually not all that bad when you consider the wait time on other wheels lol (I don't even want to name them).

Reproducing them would be just as costly because of the low volume. So that click in cap accepts OEM roundels, and will come with a Carbon Fiber look center cap with logo.

                              Basically the point is to get the best/most wheel for your money :p

                              I guess you're right. They do look sweet though without rc caps.

                              Edit: Don't ditch the Hyper Black, lets see what they look like in daylight.

                                Out of curiousity, how is Team Dynamics able to pull off basically everything. Just one mold that they drill to fit a particular application?

                                I guess doing that makes them heavier?

                                And +1 on the Hyper Black, I think they look good.
