RonJon Devotion Type III, Reincarnated!! **Feb 2008**

Ok, got the wheels today, I must say, very impressive quality and style. I actually cursed out loud when i opened the boxes sent to me from my factory, I was in total Amazement...

On a side note, these will be in what I like to call, low rate production, we will only be making these in small quantities, but still, continuously. We found a supplier that can meet opur demand for quality at lower volumes. The first order which is scheduled to be here in about 2 months, is halfway sold out, but we will be bringing them in every 2 months. Any questions, feel free to ask, and I have to say, pics don't do these wheels justice, they are even more amazing in person.
Pricing and info will be shown here, and custom powdercoat finishing is available even tho i feel liek this finish has the most amazing visual impact.

That's actually a good price for 3 piece forged rims.

Especially when you're talking about 19" wheels with a lip.

Now where can I come up with $3k...

The 20" with the 52mm offset weighs about 28 lbs, which is not bad at all, the 19" is sample we have is a low 42mm offset, and weighs about 27 lbs, but with the 50mm offset I am predicting a 2 lbs less weight of 25 lbs. Relatively light, but this wheel is more of a luxury styleistic wheel than a Racing wheel. It's actually very strong, with T6 Hardness 6061 alloy barrels or Lips and a load rating to deal with even the MDX. The center is a Low pressure cast face to keep costs relatively low compared with the typical High cost of the 3-piece wheels in the market.

Absolutely no rubbing issues, with a 52mm offset, you will clear the fender, even when lowered or slammed, and 225/30/20 will be a proper suggested tire, even tho you can even get away with 225/35/20.

For those wondering about the 3-piece wheel and how it works, this should help a little, the rivets actually serve a purpose. There is also the Raven Black with Diamond-cut Machined Face custom finish option:

Sorry, but there is no market for 18" 3 piece wheels I beleive. never even gotten a request for that size. In 18", we like to stick to the lip-less designs, like the Legend, Inspyre and Servo, so that wheels actually look like 18" or 19" and not 17".

I believe the lip will be the same, so if you need any of those, i can set it up, once everything arrives. We will have a lip replacement program, if anybody damages their lips, there will be a discounted rate to replace the lip and reassemble. But as long as the face is still in good condition.
