18X9 in offsets of 20/30/38
17X9/8.5 in offsets of 15/20/30

Ok sorry about the delay, still working out some details (i.e. shipping costs. lol)

GB Prices:

Bronze/Gunmetal
18X9J - 260.00 per/wheel
17X8.5/9J - 220.00 per/wheel

Polished
18X9J - 360 per/wheel
17X8.5/9J - 320 per/wheel

I'm still working out the shipping details. The company we usually go with quoted us 270.00 per set but I'm waiting on a quote for a different company that should have better rates.

i believe chrome is an extra coating and usually costs a grip. polished is just extra extra shinny. (like the lip on most JDM wheels)

chrome :ghey: while polished is pretty cool if you like silver/shinny wheels.

SilviaDriver
02-27-2004, 04:55 PM
is there a weight difference between chrome and polished?

and is there a weight difference between bronze/gunmetal and polished?

I'd be in for at least a pair if the shipping cost came down a bit. Any pictures of the wheels mounted on a car?

Sorry I didn't respond sooner, was super busy after the return from D1. lol.

I will be calling Great Company tonight to find out wheel weights and I was able to get the shipping cost per set down slightly.

Shipping for one set of wheels is 230.00 as opposed to the original 270.00.

- PG, it was cool hanging out with you guys. And Adey, don't worry I haven't forgotten the soy sauce incident! lol.

adey
03-07-2004, 07:44 PM
Hahaha... don't worry, I'm sure you won't forget that incident for a while to come... and neither will!
Looking forward to hearing about the wheels... it sounds like altogether, PG may be ordering (as many as) 2 sets... keep us updated!

Ryan! i know it's been a while, but it was great meeting you guys. i'm down for at least a pair of 17x9 +15 in 4 lug, maybe a full set... not sure yet (depending on how much $$ i'll be saving up for them body kits and suspension pieces.. *hint hint*). if it saves money/time/trouble, i think all of us PG guys can have our orders shipped together. did you know that a particular 'someone' was able to detect a soy-based fragrance in the lavatory the night of the incident? awesome. please keep us posted!

Yes, they are available outside the Group Buy but not at the GB price.

Has anyone found larger pics of the Bronze/Gunmetal colors?
Ryan - you have PM (from a few weeks ago) ... unrelated to the wheels.

I would almost certainly be interested in a pair, too. Not sure on sizing yet, but I think the whole PG out here will get together and decide what we want to order, then we'll get back to you.

If you are sure you are in for the GB pm me with your info so I can keep everything organized :boink:

I am going to have to limit the sets of wheels to 15 to keep everything simple and easy to handle so the GB goes smooth.

Domo!

Ryan of Velocity
03-25-2004, 04:28 PM
Time is running out, this GB will be closed and orders processed on the 30th. If you want in pm me or email me with your info! I have gotten a few emails from people asking if I can keep it open longer but it would be unfair to those already on the list. However if this one goes well we wiill be doing another in the future and possibly be stocking these wheels.

Thorpedo
03-31-2004, 11:07 PM
i think you should start a list for people who would be interested when you either stock these wheels or do another groupbuys...kind of as a interested buyer list. i know im interested in these wheels, i just bought coilovers so i dont have the dough. but if you would be doing one in the next two to three months i would most def be on it. anyways, just a thought

Sorry about being off for a while (been really sick) finally been able to get back on zilvia tonight. It's obvious that the GB wasn't going to make it though:p What I'm going to do is see what kind of pricing I can get from GreatCompany without the group buy so those who want them don't have to wait for one to go through. I'll do my best to keep the pricing down as well.

If you want to get of me feel free to call me anytime of the day at 317 514 5974.

thanks anyway for doing the group buy. I've wanted these wheels for a while but can't come up with the cash right now. I'll buy a set from you at a later date.
