I talked to M&A Castings about that very subject. The new wheel molds would be about $10,000 or $1,000 per person if we were to get 10 people. And we would own the molds.
Another $30,000-$35,000 +/- ($500-$600 per wheel) and we would have the minimum run of 15 brand new sets of magnesium Cobra wheels.
More sets of wheels and the per unit cost goes down.
Now, if Darren could stop building his flip top and become a wheel magnate.
