We plan to make our own in the future (5 axis CNC is not cheap). For now these are new units, and are NOT Garrett. Garrett stuff is outdated compaired to these newer wheels.

Jose,
Did you design this in house, or is it something that you found from another place and are going to be improving upon?
and CNC machines arent that expensive, just get you one of those ridgid drill press' from home depot, and put a double swivel in the main shaft. lol
man I have a brand new trubo and want to rebuild it already.

Right now these are already designed by a company. We did get a wheel or two to possibly re-engineer 
Oh yeah CNC machines are cheap. Just shy of 1 million for a nice one...lol. I need to wait a few more months..lol.

Jose,
Can these new wheels be installed in the Incon turbos(gt2535) as well? The stage 1 guys are looking for a way to make more power, and the only way with this kit is to get some stage 2 (gt2537) turbos, which are impossible to find.
Any help here?

We are working on that as well since we are bringing back the Incon kit. The problem with those units was the center section was mega $$$ and the shaft is so small that going to much larger on the wheels puts alot of stress on the shaft.

Wow ok...lots of responses here.
First the wheels are from several manfactures depending on the size.
69vette, I replied back.
Mike, we are checking alot of options right now for the kit. Some stuff is routed so dang tight its a nightmare.
Stevie, yes some of these new wheels will work in the 60mm units.

My buddy just bought a precision 106 from Turbo people with a custom 1.32 A/R for his 565 BBC in a outlaw 10.5 car. It outperforms his old innovative 101 with a 1.5 a/r by alot. Maybe he can get more power yet with your new findings!
