Custom wheel company

[speedjunkie]

FINALLY, I might be getting some headway on this.

In 2011 I ended up getting some wheels from ISS Forged and I never even ran them on the car because they ended up being not exactly what I was looking for, so they've just been sitting in my basement collecting dust and losing any kind of value they have lol.

I asked around on facebook to see if someone could do a CAD of exactly what I want because one of my coworker buddy's knows a guy with a CNC machine and he said he'd probably be willing to cut them if I provided him a CAD. Another guy on facebook put me in touch with someone that's done some designs for him and he said he'd do one for me based on my TM02s but with a step lip like I've been wanting for so long. He said he's trying to start a wheel company and asked if I'd be willing to get the name out there after our deal is done. He also said it would be cheap and that it will basically be one-off, the design will belong to me I guess. So that's kinda cool lol.

Now I'm just trying to find a good place to get some lips and barrels. I've found a few places but I want to see what kind of reputation they have. Reason being I want to have the option of just getting lips or barrels and changing the size and offset of the wheels, and it seems like most lips and barrels are at least a little bit different, with one having 40 holes and the other having 38 or whatever, etc. I've been looking at WheelFlip. They have better prices but some of the reviews have been pretty poor. There are some other places but they are way pricy. I'm looking for forged aluminum lips and barrels, I'll probably try to do something like Hyper Black from CCW for either the whole wheel or just the lips, and then do a darker color, maybe even matte, for the centers with the Hyper Black lips. I need to get this figured out so the guy can start doing the CAD. Any 3pc wheel whores on here that can point me in the right direction?

I posted this on the other forum too and got some responses from people. Here is a list of ones I had before and the additions from others so far.

So far, AMC Rim Halves looks like the best deal, at approx. $800 for a full set of lips and barrels in the sizes I'm looking for, but they won't answer the phone so I can talk to them to get more info. Ewheelworks and WheelFlip get the same parts as far as I can tell, but I've heard about issues people have had with WheelFlip taking forever to get the parts, etc. Ewheelworks quoted me around $1400 for a full set of lips and barrels, which is more than AMC obviously, but at least they got back to me. The rest are either quite a bit more expensive, they sell a different type of lip and barrel (so I'll be limited to buy from them in the future), or I haven't gotten ahold of them yet to get prices and/or assembly dimensions.
