ROn this wheel with that kind of Lip is exactly what I've been looking for. My question is what finishes will be available? I personally want an all chrome rim, not brushed aluminum or polished. Will you offer an all Chrome wheel? thanks

They will be available in Chrome or Liquid Silver with a Polished lip. We are planning on making a 20" x 8.5" wheel with BBK clearance but only a 2" lip up front or front and rear, and an optional 20" x 8.5" wheel with no BBK clearance, but a deep 3.5" lip, so its a stagger looking setup.
Sorry fior the delay, but we';ve been having small issues with the 5 x 120 bolt pattern, and other small things that naturally arrise when developping a wheel for the first time. After we iron out all the details and make the wheel, we will fly thru production and be that much closer to having the wheel in stock.

just waiting on the factory to complete the wheels, there's over 400 wheels being built with quite a few different part numbers and finishes, so once that is all done, the 18" and 19" will be on it's way here, then I can give definite dates with confidence.

ron, i just noticed on your site that production should be complete soon on the Legends, and that they should be ready to ship by mid-may 2007. is that for all wheels, or is there a chance that some could be shipped out sooner? just curious...

Ron, you have come aways w/ the Legend. That 3" lip really sets it off!
I was wondering
.......do you think you could get some video of them 18,19 or 20" (doesn't matter which) on one of your cars just driving around...say in a parking lot or something? I would really like to see them with a good visual, the WDP with the Liguid Silver (LS) would be my choice, but any 3g would suffice. If not, that's alright..it's just I'm willing to wait to make sure I do buy the wheels I think look best and the Legend didn't do it for me ,but the L2 with that 3" lip has really piqued my interest

sorry, the 20" is being revised slightly, and its still not ready for production just yet, tyhe sample is on its way here tho.
here is an update of the finishes for the 19" side by side, right from the camera. The Liquid Graphite might apear to be a little on the dark side, but I thinbk it was just the dark suroundings.

Some liquid Silver 48mm offset 19" x 8.0" Legends with 235/35/19 Toyo Proxes on. Fits perfect, clears the Rotora BBK and lines up without rubbing. Chekc it out, the finish looks like a polished surface with clearcoat in real life.
This 19" x 8.0" wheel with 235/35/19 tire weighs only 46 lbs,
thats lighter than the OEM 17" x 7" with 215/50/17 tires at about 47.5 lbs on the same scale!! I have yet to weight the 18" with 235/40/18, but I am guessing that it will weigh about 42-43 lbs with tire.
Wheels are on there way here now.

MAKE THAT 7 SPOKE IN 19 and I'LL ORDER NOW. THE CAD LOOKS SCHWWEET SO I CAN IMAGINE WHAT THE REAL PRODUCT WOULD LOOK LIKE.

But here is the dilemna, for a 3rd product:
1.) do we make deep dish version of the Inspyre in 20" with a lip called the Inspyre Type II?
2.) Should we make an all new design, like a 7 spoke 20" with a lip and a trick finish?
3.) Another 19" or 20" wheel flush face?
4.) Devotion wheel Cast (more affordable, same style) in one of the diameters previously offered on the forged version? (18", 19" or 20")
5.) Maybe even a bodykit for the new 2007 TL-S?
We have enough budget for one diameter wheel mold or a bodykit. Nows your chance to be heard, we are ready to go, so in about 5 days we will be doine with CAD engineering of the Legend and we will have to decide on the other product for our 2007 lineup.
Please reply with your suggestion on any variables
