This generation of 15's use a different face mold for each size so the 12 is much deeper than the 10. The 11" depth in between. Tilt cast and flow formed, 550kg 10% above JWL standard load rating, knurled bead, maximum brake clearance, lifetime warranty. Charcoal (not shown) is satin black. 4x100 only. Same lifetime warranty as all our wheels. Knurled beads, 550kg load rated 10% higher than JWL standard, Anvil bead for increased bend resistance. Compared to our previous generation 15x10, the new wheel is far stiffer.
We're making these in limited quantities. Probably one batch per year. Order yours now to get a set locked in.
Not often that a wheel is so striking that people contemplate and entirely new car project just so they can use them.
Our OGK project will just barely fit the 11's in rear. Custom steel flares, custom paint on it so not inconsequential expense to make the 12's fit. But the gears (cue squeaky hamster wheel) are turning..
Not likely ever, sorry. For wheels we only sell a few of, we have to choose one finish, our most popular.
Just because I’m crazy and like to ask oddball questions - given the small market for some of these sizes, is there appetite for unfinished wheels? IOW, allow the customer to finish the wheel in whatever color they want.
My line of thinking is that someone who is buying these corner-case wheels, they may already have a color scheme going and the resources to sub out their own finishing. Of course, that then gets us into the place where Keith from FM was a million years ago when he re-powder-coated some wheels and destroyed their integrity (iIRC).
The company who refinished my 95 BBS wheels said that their powder coating temperature recipe would not compromise the strength of my wheels, so maybe this isn’t an issue now?
There is demand, but we aren't planning on offering unfinished wheels. Without going into detail, it is untenable for our little company. Sorry. We're happy to just be able to offer these ultra-niche wheels at all.

Sorry, I should have clarified - not looking for this myself, just thinking out loud that it might be a viable alternative to the individual requests/tastes. I can guess it’s just easier to do things the way Harrison Ford offered the Model T - any color so long as it’s black.
Not about being easier, it's about not having unsold wheels on the shelf. We have learned a lot over 20 years of making small batches on unique wheels for niche markets. It's simply not economically feasible to offer extra finishes for a wheel that is hard to find buyers for in the first place. This is despite how it may seem from the public view of things. Like I said, we are just happy to be able to offer them at all. No other company on the planet bothered to make a lightweight 15x10 specifically for the Miata before us. No one else even bothers with the 15x12 which we created special molds for but will struggle to move 60 wheels quickly. Even that, making a new mold for a 60pc run is patently absurd in this industry.
