Love that look, before the group buy I was debating to strip my Titan 7s and do something similar…
Group Buy for “QV Style" Wheels
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.

It is a great look. I did a couple wheels that are similar. One is for me (no holes), the other is for a friend (w/holes).
Something like this in hyper black would be sweet as well.
Caveat weird lighting as always 😅
A year on, I bought the suspension AND the wheels. Resistance was futile.🙄😁 Very satisfied with the results.
~22lbs lighter than the stock 18/19 Teledials for the 17/18 sets, yes. The 17/18 community is smaller than 18/19 but not really small. Probably 1/3rd of all the 4C wheels have been 17/18. There are some very heavy track users in that group as well and zero reports of rubbing.
Here are a couple that come to mind who I know track the car a lot on the 17/18s…
Plenty of guys track the car a lot on the 18/19s too and I haven’t heard about any rubbing from anyone.
It’s a happy day here in San Francisco! Got a message on April 23rd that “a label had been created” and all four wheels showed up today. Here is a preview of 18” in satin bronze. Will have to get off my butt and get tires and stems. These looks fantastic, @John4C. What an awesome, fun journey this has been! John, you are THE MAN!
