Default Your opinion needed!


DCW is gearing up to start offering 1.55's in glue on and traditional beadlock forms.

I need to know what features you guys would most like to see so that I can get you what you want!

If you are unfamiliar with my wheel offerings, I make each set to your specs from scratch. You tell me width, offset, what hubs/rings/hardware you will be using, and I will deliver exactly what you need in black or white delrin. There is a link in my sig for more info and examples of the wheel designs I offer.

So speak up, let me hear what you want!

Free?

Sorry couldn't resist. With the options you already offer I can't think of anything else for the wheels themselves. Maybe offering rings, hubs and hardware kits. I always like to get everything in one place if I can.

I understand the attraction to one-stop-shopping, but I have a hard enough time keeping track of my own inventory, so you can forget me keeping other peoples stuff in stock.

Rings may be an option though...I'm going to make a few sets and see how it goes.

I was gonna say where can you get 1.55 rings without buying a set of wheels?

Motoworx has 1.55 rings. There really isn't many other options. I'm hoping mine come out nice enough to help fill the void a bit.

I don't know. I'm not making them in 1.9 or 2.2 any more for several reasons, one being that they are a PITA.

Narrow as possible track width.
Maybe make them like Gearhead (I think), reversible... one side narrow, one side wide.

Reversible has always been an option, offset is whatever you want it to be.

I almost PMed you the other day about the feasibility of a 1.55 for use with Motorworx rings. If you can make your own rings I think it'd be even better. I'd like a set of the kidney beans with a lot of backspacing and a trailready style ring lol. I'll keep an eye out for if/when you start making these!

My rings are going to be basic and super simple. All of my equipment is manual, and making fancy stuff just isn't cost effective. I can tell you that another vendor has got some 1.55 stuff in the works, but won't be available for a few more months. You'll have plenty of options then, and I will be happy to make my wheels compatible with anything you want to use.

I've got everything in hand to start making some 1.55's.

After trying to make rings myself, I've decided not to offer them. I ordered up some from Motoworx for myself and for the cost, I can't come close to competing. They are really nice, and fairly cheap, and have options for colors.

» Product Categories » 1.55 Beadlock rings Archive - Motoworx Racing

The first set should be done sometime this weekend. Prices, designs, and options will be in line with my current offerings. If anyone is interested, shoot me a pm with what you want and I'll put you on the list.

8 lugs in the center instead of 6? Would that be possible?
