Need your imput for a wheel center

[IRON-E]

I've been talking to machinist, who does custom wheels for Donkers. I suggested an old school wheel design for our cars (16-17in) He said, he needed some ideas for a center (Rennsport, Borbet As, Hartges, AZEVs, RSs, MKsport, Alpinas) and asked to know what the market would be interested in, if these were to be produced?

Post up a picture, of the wheel of your choice, then I'll take a poll of the wheels most of us would like to see into production and see if I can gauge his interest. ;)

i think to sell well, the wheels would have to be priced really cheap. generally, as you know r3vers are a cheap bastard group. this including me. a lot of those are still available from the manufacturer and there would be infringement issues.

i am not trying to discourage you, but it would cost a lot to make wheel samples to shoot nice photos of. even after all the trouble, i think most would just rather buy the factory wheel.

I think a nice 16x8 Alpina replica would be an AMAZING seller.

I have taken all that you're saying into consideration, hence the reason why I need a base design that we would all like to see. I will also take on the cost of the prototype, which can only be 1 because I'm a r3v member too = broke ass.

Thought of that one but isn't there one out already?

Not super good with wheels, except for the most popular ones. Can you provide a pic?

So, you're saying, that you would like to see this in those specs?
I'm sure, the manufacturer will be dishing those out, once the first batch is done. Just like ESM has previously done, it's easy for them to do a different size of the same wheel.

But you have those wheels on already. Remember, I'm only speaking about the design in the center of the wheel.

True. I just love these wheels. Arc8s are very aggresive as well, i will be watching out for this production line. Sounds fun.

Please make the design not look like a 3pc wheel. 1pc wheels should look like 1pc wheels.

I think a rally 5 spoke would look neat, like a compomotive or even like those boyd coddingtons that e30lov had on his vert.

If I had access to the tools I would make some 16" E55 center lock.
