Aren't Breyton's like 40 lbs each?

I really don't see this GB happening before the end of the year if he does the E46 M3 guys first.

Yeah I can't be stuffed waiting anymore either. TR and Breyton it is.

[new_one]

^ The GTS is heavy. Apparently the GTS-R's that they are coming out with are lighter. I think I read from Gill that TR will have them in May. They are cheap too.

At this price could this be a forged lightweight wheel? With the roads around here, that is pretty important. Hmm - That really is a good looking wheel for the money, I just wonder about its strength. Anyone with first hand info?

Nope. The GTS-R's are < 18 lbs. for 18's.

I think this is their first lightweight wheel.

[new_one]

^ and as you have found out from Gill they are low pressure cast. There may be an issue, if they do turn out to be as light as they are thinking, with strength. If you track your car or drive harsh road conditions regularly those wheels may not be the best choice. If you are not hard on your wheels, don't track it, and want the staggered, that is a really nice looking and light wheel for the money.

This is the Morr Wheel Group Buy thread, people. Let's stay on topic. There is another thread for the Breyton GTS-R wheels. Thanks.

Jim new_one, is there any way of confirming with Carlos once and for all his intentions for us? I just want some information so I can make my decision. I would still love to have the VS7 in 18s, but I can't sit around waiting for info forever. I mean for f sakes, we are the customers here!

[new_one]

WAY - I have sent him an email with a list of all of our current questions. Including asking for a timeframe that we can count on and he can deliver on. I will post up the response as soon as I have it.

mikeo - 10/4

Woohoo, Carlos is alive! I just hope his answers tomorrow is going to be that he will be making those wheels for us by May...

[coco_m3]

sorry to ask agian, but what does a set of 19's cost for a set of four?

[Dave]

in all seriousness what time frame are we looking at?

[new_one]

Here are the collection of question from the last couple of pages and Carlos' answers in blue

• Will there be a 19" version staggered and/or not for the 1er if not a part of this group buy? It`ll depend on demand.

• Will these wheels be certified? They are tested to VIA/JWL and SAE standards. It`ll take about 30-60 days for the wheels to get registered with VIA.

• Any word on the pricing for the 18x8.5 group buy? We are having some issues with a 18x8.5 as some offsets are not clearing the struts.

• For the square setup will you have the same offset front and rear? So that the wheels can be rotated. Probably not.

• Do you know yet if there be enough rim/steering arm clearance with the 8.5"s up front to clear 235s? Have not test fit 235s yet.

• Assuming we have enough to satisfy a group buy can you provide us with a timeline that you can live with and we can count on? 90 days from GB close day.

• What do you think 18"x8.5" wheels would weigh? ~18lbs? oh yes

[ichiban]

.... count me in for 18x8.5. Pricing on 4 of these?

For the GB we are looking at a VS7 GB price of $2250 not including rubber.

I have et 42 18 x 8.5 with 225's, I think that is going to be the max that can go up front. Especially with a drop.

[Helios]

I need info on what fits 18s, 19s. are the 19s gona fit or are we lookin at only 18s... either way im in, where do i sign?

[gizmo]

If the offset is going to be different between the front and rear, thus making it impossible to rotate the wheels/tires, why not produce wheels that we know will fit? ie.. 18x8 fronts & 18x9 rears. IMO the only reason to produce a square setup is for tire rotation purposes, otherwise, it just becomes a hassle trying to get 18x8.5s to fit up front.

[new_one]

^ many want square to open up tire selection and for better handling balance (loose the understeer). It's not just about rotating tires. The widest rubber possible is the balance everyone is trying to find to keep the power to the road at the rears.

Mario the GB is for VS7 18's .

This started out with me just collecting names of folks to gauge interest.

Carlos will likely take over soon to manage the next step. With these group buys it always comes down to who is sort of interested, and who is putting money down.

Ditto here....where do we sign up?:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Bitch and moan... man this seems like the best overall combination of weight, size, stagger, and price that I've seen anywhere..Surely worth a little wait...
