ODD wheels
the wheel market has been stale lately lacking in forged 3pc wheels and a wheel thats been in demand by urban builders for as long as i have been building
both are 1/24 the 3 piece wheel is 22" the Monoblock Chopper is 26" once they arrive they will be molded and casted and sold through ebay.

Re: ODD wheels
thanks if these sell well, ill put out the 3 piece collection basically 2 piece wheels with adjustable centers ill be aiming for Forged, Directional, and Billet designs since that seems to be lacking in the model car world. its been long overdue and im happy that ill be able to deliver but it all counts on how well those 2 wheels sell.

Re: ODD wheels
i wish you good luck but i donīt see how these wheels would sell among the mayority of model builders out there as they are.. well.. very specific Its rims like the bbs lm rims from aoshima that fit a lot of cars that are very desirable and itīs usualy the more exotic rims like these that donīt sell that much.

the COR wheel no so much thats more of a private deal between myself and another person building someone elses replica the wheel is nicely sized for a few builders looking to build a protouring machine or a nice sports car with Forged wheels. i intend on releasing a lot of forged, directional and billet designs in 22 and 24" sizes. My focus is the urban style builder where names like Forgiato, Cor, Bonspeed,Iforged,Asanti,DUB, and Foose are common. i would hope to see the operation go as far as releasing the first set of diecast metal rims this is the blade wheel printed on paper to check its scale its about 26" also the only 26" ill ever release. this is another 26" wheel being done up for 2 other people who have vested interest this is the next step, a 2 piece wheel. you buy the rings with tires for about 15$ and from there you get to pick from a selection of centers including left and right directionals and from there you can pick your own wheel offset standard, deep offset, or staggered offset.

Re: ODD wheels
ive been working up to this it all depends on how well the first 2 releases sell whether i decide to invest the time and money. even if it they dont ill just make it for myself the faces will all be curved or concave no flat face wheels with this deal all wheels will be 2 piece with the sleeves being 15 to 18mm wide the face around 3.5 to 4 mm.

Re: ODD wheels
I also believe that wheels are the one of the most important thing that makes or breaks a car. Wu-tang wheels are awesome. Might want to make another pair as ill take em. Also there are a few wheels i like out of the ones you showed. Good luck.
