2 new wheel designs 5-110

(I'm in wholesale at playerwheelgroup.com)

We were going through designs, picking out new wheels to produce for next year. I made it clear we could practically corner the market if we had more open lug 5-110, repeatedly.

Anyhow, I'll post the picts when I can without getting shot, but one is a simple thin 5 spoke like the Borbet wheel available in the pattern, but with IMO a cooler spoke design with a cut in it.

Also trying to get them, specifically in 18" and 19".

Thought you'd be interested.

I think that five spoke is definitely the way to go. Everything else just looks weird to me. Sounds like you guys are coming out with some nice stuff.

I want 17x9.5 to run 24/40r17 or245/45r17. Why? traction is a problem on our cars and I can get some sticky rubber in this size and the width will obviously help.

but will it fit? it should. that is what the ran on the time attack COBALT.
