$59.99 for 2 wheels & no beadlocks? So $120 for 4 & you still need to get lock rings & screws? Sorry I don't mean to be negative but isn't that a bit much? I know that is MSRP but do you know what street prices will be? |

I'm guessing it uses the stock axial rings and screws. GH, I'd advise you step up to 3mm and include bolts and rings, then they'd be worth it. You don't want to class yourself out of the Venom crawler market, or any other similar rigs that may come out in the future  |

Why not sell a complete wheel w/rings and screws?

I like these, and would definatley buy a set of 4 even though the AU doller is very low atm... BUT only if they had rings and screws... 3mm screws would be better but i could live with 2mm...

The severe lack of market research from some companies really astounds me. Good luck. p!nK |

I have to agree with Mr.Pink here. Don't get me wrong, the wheels are very nice looking. But you guys need to get a guy that has been doing this for a while to look over your products and give you some info. If these wheels had larger screws and came with rings, you would be ok with that price. The smaller hardware is just prone to breakage and tend to strip a lot easier which is why most, if not all, of the wheel company's use the larger hardware. | |

The reason why we excluded the beadlock rings and screws, to lower down the cost and price. We were thinking that the guys that purchase these wheels will have their own beadlocks and screws. We can include the beadlock rings and screws with the wheels, but that will drive up the cost and price.

If you add the beadlock rings and hardware at the same cost you will have a much better chance in selling these | |

Lets compare what the rest of the industry is offering, just incase you have not: Eritex Inc. $80 - $105 Rings & hardware included http://eritexinc.com/zencart/index.p...dex&cPath=12_4 Mayhem Engineering $95 - $130 Rings & hardware included + at $130 you get floating live weights! http://mayhemengineering.com/rims.html RC4WD $109 - $139+ Rings & hardware included http://rc4wdstore.com/index.php?cPath=2 This is just a sampling of what is available in the higher quality wheels covering about 25 different designs of wheels most in the same price range or lower & there are many more out there! Many lower in cost than the ones given as example. So I ask as a consumer who buys wheels all of the time tell me why in the world would I or anyone else with internet access purchase your incomplete wheel "kit"? . | |

i like my mayhems and i got mine on sale for $86 bones for all the rims rings and hardwhere im getting another set soon im a machinist (in training)only reason why the price to me would be so high is his material costs to much or hes over paying just a thought. still about 50 buks to much for your rims they look nice just the pricing isnt practical. |

It's already been said, but I have to emphasize the price point of other top notch locks that are currently on the market. Most prominently Vanquish and Mayhem. Weight sets, color options, and ring options, included in the same ball park as your rims without rings or mounting hardware?! I commend you for taking the time to develop and put forth a great looking wheel for us, but that in itself will not move product for you. | |

look good, should include rings because a potential buyer may not already have the ones needed. I did catch that it says MSRP though. Street prices are usually totally different.

Get some ring and 3mm screws and keep the cost under $120 for a set of 4 and you might get some buyers They look great just way to high on price for what you get?
