Now that was cool!

That video with the choice music made cutting of metal so suspenseful!

Dude I completely agree with you. That would be freakn sikk to get the stock 08 19" rims in 20" with concave and sikk offsets I would get a set so fast wouldn't be funny.

Great to see another pro designer on here! I used to work for 3D Industrial Design out in LA, and for Stuart Karten Design in the Marina. It is fascinating to be a part of the process, as you described, and nothing short of miraculous to have access to the latest equipment. Most fun for me was designing Hot Wheels for Mattell - cars and toys all in one.

I love your concepts!

When it comes to wheels, I'm an old fashioned BBS-style mesh guy.

Wheels look awesome!

What were the final size and offsets you went with? Are they a staggered setup?

Congrats on a project well done.

final price was around $4,500.... but that was with shipping & taxes to bring them over the Australia... not sure how much they charge for the US market, but since they are made in cali can imagine they might be a bit cheaper.
Very reasonable, since i originally priced ADV.1's are they were a fair bit more for something off the shelf.

Weight - not sure on exact weight, but they feel alot lighter than my 18" Volk GT-C's.. which are 2" smaller.
