Hi guys, been a long time since I've posted here, not been driving the coop too much lately. I'm interested in getting some alloys made to the style of the plus alloys, only in 18" size. - To give the coop a more moderne look. I've found a company that might be willing to do this - Want to charge me £30 just to give me a quote Does anyone have a link to a decent pic of the plus alloys? Cheers Sal

Thanks for the posts guy, and Thanks Nazo for the links I think those pics should be sufficient for now. I think I'll have to get hold of a regular 16" Plus alloy when things get more serious. I've decided to pay £30 for the quote, and see whats what. I got the feeling that the prices would drop dramatically if there were more people on board... Group buy?? I was given a rough gestimate for a one time deal around £1500-1700. I'm hoping it won't be that much!

18" pretty please...
I have looked at so many wheels in 18" range and TBH still love the uniqueness of plus alloys..
I am sure this would turn into a huge GB and that would bring the cost down quite a bit
I am in.. in any case

Hello from France,
I own a 20vt PLus for a while, and I'm looking for 18" wheels to make it more modern. But I don't find anything that fit the car perfectly. Stock wheels in 18 would be perfect !!! Please do it, I am in (and I bet I'm not the only french one...)
Ps: I oftenly look here, but i've just log, specially for this. Tell me if I need to introduce myself in a specific topic

Im sure we can get 30 people for group buy and should then be around £900.
nearly all custom items on the forum are much more cost then of the shelf simply because they have been custom made by forumers or others..

If we could get 20-30 sets, then I'm sure the price would drop dramatically.
I'mn still waiting to hear back from the company - Will chase them tomorrow if i haven't heard anything.

Does anyone know what the weight of a standard 16" Plus alloy is?
Reason I ask is that there may be a possibility to reduce weight at the same time (depending on costs)

Sal 9kg (about 20lbs). Seems to be difficult to get 18" lighter (even forged one)

18" plus alloys would look great so long as it was only the spokes they lengthened and not the square centre section. i agree with jimbo it would look very odd with a large centre section

Hi guys,
Been out the loop on this one for a bit. I've had a response from one supplier who said that if we ordered 10 sets we might get a price about £750 for a set of 18" Plus style wheels.
Still waiting for all confirmations, designs etc.
Any one interested please post below and I'll contact you once i receive all the details (hoping next week)

Just to let you know these will be manufatured in China, and shipped here - so I have to make sure that we don't get stung by customs here, and that they have all the needed saftey marks etc.

I wonder if this would infringe the intellectual property (design right) in the wheel - i.e. be illegal.

I think that if you choose for 2 size's, you will double the costs of producing them.

Very much still alive. This is the information I have so far:
Safety Safety certificate: we have passed ISO9001-2000 quality management system, the QS9000 quality system, got the ISO/TS16949 certificate, Japanese VIA certificate and Germany TUV certificate. The products also performance comply with the international standards such as JWL, and TUV and so on
Material Aluminium GB/T 16474-1996
Prices will be about £700 if we can get enough people involved, and place deposits. I'm concerned about quality, and am actually going to order a set of wheels for my Jaguar first to see how good they are. Once I recieve them I'll post pics etc so everyone can make a decision.
I will also need to source a regular plus alloy to send them, as this will reduce the cost of the moulds, and ensure accuracy with offsets etc.
Any parties interested, please express in this thread. I'll start a new GB thread once I have concrete information and pricing. If we can get over 30 people buying sets the price may drop to £550 - which I think is a bargain. I won't be making a profit through this - just enough to cover my expenses, and I may decide to do this through one of my UK businesses, as there are going to be VAT implications importing from China.
Posting to Europe will not be an issue, so any Dutchies are more than welcome.
Let me know if you have any questions. I would think that we'd be looking at August / September for the first deliveries.

Given the opportunity you may want to consider changing the offset. If you go ET32 say then it is the equivalent of 10mm spacers. Also you would probably be better off going 7.5" wide on an 18" rim as that is the minimum width required for a 225/35R18 tyre.

Thanks for the offer, I'll probably take you up on the offer - Where abouts are you based, and would it be ok to not have the wheel for at least 1 month, maybe 2?

Im not sure. I collected one other buyer from the dutch forum. So for now, 2 dutchies are up.
Considering the design i would try to make the specs of the rim as standard as possible. This in the means of not doing anything specific, to keep a wide audience for them. (cant find the exact suitable english words, if not clear ill rephrase)

Hello from France
I think everyone should order 5 wheels. Ok it's expensive, but If you crash one wheel you won't sell the others as spare parts (who would buy 3 wheels ?)... About design: it should be 7,5" or 8" wide for 215 or 225 tyres. It would be great to keep original offset (40) as it won't modify the geometry of front track wheel.
cheers

I need new tyres as well before this winter, but i dont feel like this group-buy would be completed within 1-2 months. Ill just buy the wheels and wait until the current tyres are worn. These will be a collectors item!

Hello from France
I think everyone should order 5 wheels. Ok it's expensive, but If you crash one wheel you won't sell the others as spare parts (who would buy 3 wheels ?)... About design: it should be 7,5" or 8" wide for 215 or 225 tyres. It would be great to keep original offset (40) as it won't modify the geometry of front track wheel.
cheers I've told the designers to make it 7.5" as was suggested by JohnS, and the aim to keep the offset I hope to start having orders recieved by end of September.

I would suggest if you widen the wheel you should take half the width off the offset so the wheel centres in the same place. Therefore ET36 or ET35. It's up to you but that is best practice

Am I in the minority who think the original wheels look better than the Plus wheels? No your not eldinho i think 20vt rims in 18" would look awesome Really bad example but you get general look, the centre would have to be smaller so the the spokes are made longer for 18"

Am I in the minority who think the original wheels look better than the Plus wheels? Definitely not. I prefer the normal to the Plus I could be interested in a set of 18 wheels.

Hello from Switzerland
i don't know a wheel which does better match than the original one. i have now my 3th coupe and have invested hours/days to find nice wheels. There is no better one, than the original, but not in 16!
It's a pity that this idea to production does not go on. I AM DEFINITELY IN! But i'm not capable to realize. If theres is someone who can do that, he will get a fee of 300 EURO from me. But i want a quality-solution and not to weighty. So please check my offer till 30.01.2010.
thanks all and sorry for my english...
Best and serious regards from Switzerland

That's a very garbled quote you've managed to get yourself there Simon. FYI Alloy is currently at market value to cash buyer for $1995/tonne - Mid priced, on the rise (price hike is taking away a lot of our profit!) Personally not interested in these wheels, but if there is still interest from others I will get our Sales guy at work to source some contacts. (I'm sure he owes me a favour somewhere along the line ) He's done a lot of work getting our jobs out to China to save on overheads (Wonder why we made so many redundancies eh?) and we have some good sand and investment casting foundry contacts out there.

KMR - This post is old, and to be honest, I think 10 sets of 18" Plus wheels could be sold through the forum, definately. If I was you, I would just ask the place you are on about based on 10 sets of Plus style in 18" to see if they can actually do it or not, and if so for how much. If you have any joy, id start a new thread mate.
Good luck, keep us posted.

It's a long time talking about this intersting topic.
Time to take decision!
Let's do it or leave it definitively.
I'm still strong interested but, if this production-project will not go croncretely on to the 15. of February i will look for other wheels.
Kayjey did it with a GTA-Wheel, why is it such difficult for a Plus Wheel...?
Thank you and best regards
