Not Ranked
Well, here's what I got from Phil at PSE:
He's willing to give a small discount ($200) off list price for a quantity of 6 sets. (I didn't ask him about an "ascending" scale if we came with more, remembering how I got burned a couple of years ago when I attempted to co-sponsor a group buy on lifts, ending up with only 3 of us actually making a purchase. Gets egg on one's face, y'know.)
There are some common parameters for this buy:
1. The PS wheels in this case are designed for Trigo adapters & spinners; any other fit, such as Superformance's own wheels, will require an additional charge, since his current run at the foundry is set for the Trigo pattern. Phil indicates SPF's and ERA's are two that will work; there may be more, but gotta be Trigo-based.
2. They have to be pin-drive, 17 inch by the standard range of widths and offsets. For example, I have SPF #724, which uses 7.5" & 9.5" Trigos and Wilwood brakes. I can fit 9" & 11" on this car without modification or fitment problems, providing I stay within certain tire parameters. In this case, Phil says a 275R40-17 front and a 315R35-17 back aft will fit (maybe even a 335, as noted by James on his post and pictures (beautiful!) 8's & 10's are a no-brainer fit.
3. The wheel quoted will come polished rims and a satin-silver shot-peened inner section. Chrome adds $100 per wheel. Custom centers (polished, powdercoat) will also add to the price, but I didn't get into those specifics yet.
4. Shipping & handling will range from $64 per set on the west coast to $102 to the east coast. He uses UPS rate charts for comparison.
If you are interested, please contact me via private email and we can go from there. I'm thinking an order within the next 30 days gets delivery within 60 days. After March 1 the turn-around time gets longer as the race season approaches. Thanks.
