So are the 15 GN rims the only planed build right now. I know alot of people are wondering on sizes. I would like to see the 17 or 18 GN wheel become a reality. But the leg work of the development of products is a long road. Just looking to find out your thoughts. Thanks.

Yes 15's are the only planed build right now. We may be able to remove the center section & put a 1/2" ring around it to build a 16". That is what we do when building a 17" GNX wheel.

We are getting pretty close.

I look forward to the outcome of this. Stock "looking" aluminum would be awesome! Keep us updated.

I'd those GN "inspired". Good looking wheel but they don't look close enough for me to drop coin on them.

Hey Brian, if you ask me. I like the look of the aluminum GN wheels but the 17"-18" GNX wheels would be a gold mine because you have a lot of us here that wants them and then you can also shop them to the T/A guys cause you know they would love a set of nice looking well made 17"-18" GNX mesh wheels to replace their old T/A mesh wheels. Now that I think about about it Brian, you could probably make some extra money off of making like some 17" Victor wheels also. It's a hell of a lot of people out there that still love the look of the victor wheels, like the corvette stingray lovers and of coarse some of us here that love the T-Type wheels and it's nobody that is willing to make them in a updated size like 17". American Racing made a limited amount but they were 15". Just a thought! I know I would save up to buy a pair of 17"-18" GNX and Victor wheels. I would put the GNX wheels on for the Spring and Summer and slap the Victors on there for the Fall and Winter. Man that would be sooooo sweet. Sorry I got too excited for a moment just thinking about the whole idea. Just my 2 cents.

I'm low on pricing. I just wanted to get these done it has been 5 years of my life with wanting to do these.
I really need to thank Mitch Nunes from Coast to Coast. He worked with me on these out at Sema knowing I had been wanting to do these. He makes a lot of $ building other wheels. He really went the extra mile for us. I am hoping he can make it to Burlington. I owe him a lot for his Time & effort. This went from November to today from a conversation to a reality.
He was instrumental in us being able to use a new design cap & allowing us to use any GNX or T cap to install. Once I told him what the hold up was with the cap problem he handled it.
I'll have pics of them mounted on new MT 275/60/15 tomorrow. Then installed on a GN.

You did a great job brian it took awhile but really look like a gn rim which i think is important , and they look great . I know you said these are powder coated where they are painted but are the rims also fully clearcoated also ,just wandering.
