Special Forged Wheel Deal from Rondog... to A-CL.com

Now, you all know me here and I have been hard at work developing my own sport-luxury wheel company. I have a special offer for my friends here at a-cl.com...

There are two potential designs I'm planning to go with, but i can only do one for budget reasons. normally, 3 piece forged wheels in 19" cost over $1100 each, but my prices will be wholesale since there is no distributor or retailer making a profit as a middle person. I am manufacturing these wheels and selling them straight to you guys. I made the wheels exact to our cars specs, so they will fit the Acura CL, CL-S, TL, TL-S, Accord v6, Pilot, MDX, and Odyssey pefectly. I will be limited to 13 sets initially, but I will reorder which may take more time.

I'm building these wheels below and the wheel specs are as follows:

Optional Finnishes are:
-chrome
-machined diamond cut face clearcoat w/ chrome lip
-gunmetal face
-hyper black
-silver
-black

Size is:
-19"x8" three piece wheel in a 50+mm offset for the perfect fit.
-lightweight for improved acceleration and braking.

Prices are:
-$3000 for a set of four chrome or $750 ea.
-$2600 for a set of four optional finnish w/ chrome lip or 650 ea.

-Shipping will vary depending on your area.

-Tires can be added, but I will have a very limmited supply of brands and may take longer for delivery. More details to be announced.

- these wheels whicj=h ever I may produce first will be available between January and February 2004

Here are computer generated images to choose from, when I recieve a sample, i will shoot it and post real pics.

Ron, will you be able to Photoshop these rims on to a CL so we could see how they would look on our cars?

Those are really HOT looking.
I’d love to see the first one in “Hyper Black”.
I hope they will fit my 2007 TL Coupe.

Good luck with your business venture.

PS…. Are you gonna do 18’s ???

Forget photoshopping them, when I get the first sample, I'm gonna mount it on my car and shoot them. The good thing about the forged wheels is that you can make custom everything like bolt pattern and offset. if you bend a lip, then you can repair it without the cost of buying a whole new wheel. the face just gets swapped. as far as weight, I still have to see, that varies depending on the design. but they will never be as heavy as the lightest cast wheel. More details to come. the first sample should be here in less than 3 weeks. guys, thanks for the support, it's about time Our cars got some specialty parts..

Thats awesome Rondog. Good luck with the venture. If I had the money I'd be down with the second wheel in a machined diamond cut face clearcoat w/ chrome lip!
