Oh man! If you ever want to get into the Cayenne/Toureg overland scene, we have some amazing products being developed for those platforms!
These will definitely be less than $7k for a set of five.
You will be pleasantly surprised on our cost. The other great thing, too, is that quality billet wheels hold their value a lot better than cast wheels do. If you ever sell your Bronco down the road and put your wheels up for sale, you're looking at thousands being returned to you.Seeing as the AR Stirrups (really nice!) are $500/set and are 1/20th the block size, I expect these wheels to be $13,000/set.
I kid! Right?!?
They do look nice!
To be honest with you, I wanted to hold back the release of the shift knobs until SEMA. It's kind of not making sense, since the Bronco we'll have at our booth will be an auto. So if you constantly poke me about it, I can hopefully get a local 7MT bronco in the shop for pics and get them on the website.
Hey, thanks for being in the market and being great design aesthetics to boot. We all want the opportunity to have nice things, even if it's not always possible to afford it. (Your point about the billet market I'm sure is spot on.) Y'all's stirrups are the only ones I want, it's just that $500 is going towards getting me closer to 74Weld (billet) portals at the moment.
With the 20% B6G discount, it basically works out that way. You have to understand. I also wear the hat of just a blue collar guy in the Bronco community. I just happen to also produce parts for our beloved Broncos. I come home every night with metal chips in my hair (stripper glitter,we call it), and smell like machine shop. I put my hands on most every product that ships out. That's how in the weeds I am with all of our stuff.WOW! These are stunning. I doubt I'll be able to afford them but they are on my radar. Will they be buy 4 get one free?
Everything is included. We wouldn't engineer it any other way.
That's a worthy purchase. I have my eyes on those portals too.
I hear ya. I already have two of your products. You make beautiful and high quality stuff.
Exactly why I've stayed with my original squatch rims. So easy to repaint the beauty ring when they get gouged too much. I also agree about the design and trying to keep them clean or at least mud free.
It's unlikely I'd get them (I want Icon pro or Black Rhino rims, no offense), but if I did I would probably go for this option if it wasn't too costly (say in the low-mid hundreds?). Even for a mall crawler, this would be useful with road gunk etc.
These will definitely be less than $7k for a set of five.
I can totally see where the cost perception comes from though. If you look at the overall Bronco parts market, aside from suspension parts, there isn't much else being available main stream that's billet machined. If you were to just google 'billet rear trailing arms raptor' and get a sense of that cost. Then compare that to say our 4 door MAGNUM, the cost for each starts to align. I'd definitely argue our MAGNUMS use more 6061-T6 material (roughly 12 feet not including all of the 7075-T6 clamps) and require 3X to 4X more machine time. Machining under our roof, It doesn't cost me $200.00+/HR, which is typical domestic machine shop time.
So our parts are harder to get an apples to apples price comparison on. USA billet machined vs. sheet metal, the costs are totally skewed. Now billet wheel vs billet wheel, we can flex our efficiency and cost savings and pass them on to you.
I’m in the VAG/Porsche off-road group. I’ve done more light off-roading in the cayenne than I have in the bronco so far, now my wife started asking if we could make it “more rally truck than soccer mom”.
