Great looking wheel, but to get people to buy it, they need to see it actually on a car. Couldn't hurt you guys that bad to produce some 18x10.5s and showcase them on a 4th gen. If you guys did some advertising with it by taking it to shows and posting pics on all the big sites Im sure it would sell great. People just want to see it on the car before they drop that kind of cash. And we DO appreciate a nice forged wheel. Thats why you see a lot of people around here running Fikse and Iforged and a few with HRE.
Very good looking wheel though, Im looking forward to see them on a car.

Just so you guys know, a lot of the time, a 2-piece forged wheel is limited to parts are suppliers make. In 18", we (Intro Wheels, and Budnik as well) have 18x7, 18x8, 18x9, and 18x10. When you ask us to "just make" an 18x10.5, you're asking us to cut 2 18" hoops up and custom make a 10.5" wheel. We can do it, but its very expensive, and 99% of the customers out there wont want to pay for that kind of custom work, which is why people generally stick to an 18x10. When you make a 3-piece wheel, then you can do 18x10.5 no problem. iForged has those parts to make the 10.5, and so do other 3-piece companies. Hope this helps shed some light on things.

Thanks guys. Sounds like most of you are interested in 18X10's and 18X11's for the rear. We are more than happy to make these custom sizes for you, in any of our X or S series wheels. www.budnik.com to pick out a design. Remember, any wheel can be made in a "FatLip" and custom widened, as Brian from Intro eluded too, just ask for it, and we'll be more than happy to help you with fitment.
Thanks,
Jon
