They are only unveiling there new designs at SEMA.
They have 6 new designs they are showcasing plus the 5 star I currently am running.
They have known to have them in 20" and yes, IMO they are very slow to address that as well. It is not my company,lol. My guy told me they did get 20" hoops in as well. But just been busy gearing up for SEMA. I keep getting on him for not even updating there site that they sell a Forged wheel in the first place. There Bonspeed line of wheels is still showing 04-05 wheel designs. We are about to hit 07.
My contact and I are having a sit down at SEMA. That way we can talk about it at length. To talk about weight savings for race applications. I am going to send him my 300 and Mag SRT OEM wheels and hopefully a Charger SRT wheel. So hopefully they can create an after market 20" that is lighter than the stock wheels. Plus see if the 22" can be made in the same weight as the 20" OEM wheels. I have not thrown my current USW Forged 22" and my OEM 300SRT wheel (w/tires installed) on a scale. But by rolling them and lifting them. They are pretty close right now. But the 22" is heavier, but I do not know by how much. I know it is not near as heavy as some of these wheel companies that just make big heavy wheels for the consumer without taking into account that the extra weight will wear down components on the car quicker.
Plus I am also going to send him the spare wheel that a few members have gotten but does not fit the with the Brembo in Front. I am going to see if they are interested in making us a spare the SRT's can have a spare that will fit properly in the trunk and on the car.
