Default Tomzwheels heading to SEMA
Hi everyone, we will be at Sema and we are considering picking up some new lines. Any feedback on any new items that would be popular would be appreciated. We can then check and see if we can get some prices that would be competitive.

Thanks
TC

actually, HP Racing are inexpensive wheels that are in high demand....and that we don't have a sponsor for.

Ever thought of your own line? Someone should make 18" ZR1/SS wheels. Look how many people buy the 17s, imagine if 18s were available.

Exactly what I was thinking. I would suggest what was already suggested, a C5 y2k wheel with a nice lip on it. Sort of like the magnesium wheels, but thinner spokes and in f-body offsets. Everyone would buy those at a reasonable price, which you always have.

18" ZR1s (by 11" with a lip) would be awsome. I went for different wheels because I couldnt find them. Do it!!!

I think a deep dish C6 ZO6 would be killer. But as far as current wheels, HP line, RPM (like the RPM 505's), maybe some Boyd's?

The only thing that bothers me about getting HP, RPM, or other wheels is that they aren't the correct bolt pattern. Maybe a company like TomZwheels can get them to produce their wheels in our bolt pattern and wider sizes and possible also without the rivets.

and wider...

say, SS 10 spokes 18x12s....

or some deep dish c5 ZO6 wheels...


and personally, i like Assanti wheels better then i-forged, the riveted sets just look much better to me...less rivets=less cluster=




but regardless of what you guys decide, good luck and have fun!
