As of 4/17/2023 - the group buy remains open to new orders. Nothing has changed from the original Group Buy and orders happen every month. Please PM me if interested in ordering.
Updates:
If new to this thread - the relevant info is in Post 1 (this one) and then starts again HERE
EDIT - Please PM me Name, Address, Email, phone #, Wheel Color and size. I am not sending this information immediately but some updates may come over email (I think we have many people on here that don't check the forum often).
Where we are:
So, essentially what started as a set of these wheels for myself and one for someone else developed into a group buy opportunity. ~6 months and discussions with two dozen suppliers, factories, etc. I think we've cracked it.

Wheel Specs
Wheels are fully forged 6061 Aluminum using a 12k lb press (research other wheels, this is the high end of "best practice" IMHO).
17 x 8 et 30 front
18 x 9.5 et 31 rear
OR
18 x 8 et 30 front
19 x 9.5 et 31 rear
Or
19 x 8 et 30 front
20 x 9.5 et 31 rear
This works out to ~16mm spacer front and ~31mm spacer rear, gives a really nice flush aesthetic.
Pricing
Note - Pricing reflects CC payment, inclusive of 3% processing fee
Shipping will be a little different for everyone but when quoted for your address will be DDP (all taxes included).
Note shipping will fluctuate so please take all quotes as indicative only. The price when your wheels ship is what will ultimately matter (could be up or down)

Weight
The weight in green is the complete, painted wheel on a scale - I left the modeled weight on there so that you can compare and set expectations appropriately regarding the modeled weights for the other styles
18/19:
The 18/19 set is 13.7 lbs lighter than a set of stock five hole wheels, despite being 1" wider front and rear.
17/18:
The 17/18 set is 8.4 lbs lighter than a set of stock (coupe style) 17/18 wheels, despite being 1" wider front and 1.5" rear.
