The irony is that even when talking to the actual engineers at Hoosier, I was told (emphatically), that the 275 only needed a 10" wheel. Like you, when I saw the 245 on our 15x10 (perfection, BTW), I knew I needed to do an 11 for the 275 someday. Super low volume wheel though, and I have many other fish to fry. So it will happen when it happens.

Well the thing is nobody makes a 15X11 that isnt a one off custom wheel that cost a small fortune. First one to market with it might do well now that a bunch of other manufacturers are now following your lead into the 8,9,10 market.
I also think the market for 6UL's would be bigger if they could be kept in stock but I suspect that is hard to match production and demand.

A 15x11 will always be a small volume wheel compared to about a zillion other sizes.

Which I will by July when you are ready to start taking money for 15x9s. Anyhow, I am curious about this new color "Tungsten." Is the image an accurate depiction of how it will look? To me it looks like a slightly different texture to "silver" but similar color. Can you give more information about that color/finish?
Also, do 6ULs require centering rings? If so, any reason you don't sell them on your site? Last - any word on when the black lugnuts should be back in stock? I'd like to start ordering the incidentals like lugnuts and valve stems as soon as possible to spread out the financial load.

The issue for the 11's is now that a few folks have tested....and proven that they are faster...The folks that need...not want but need...The 11" wheel might have already bitten the bullet on Bogarts Keisers or some other option if you wait on producing them. The Window to "make hay" with the 11 is smaller than you might think.

So it is abundantly clear, 15x11 are lower volume wheels so they will be low priority. As in an order of magnitude lower volume.

About 600 customers. That's about what I would pass up in sales in other sizes. I appreciate all the posts in this thread asking me to re-prioritize development for the 15x11. Nothing you guys are writing is new to me however. No amount of forum posts here will change our schedule.

I think the naysayers should by now be getting the point that this is either a supplier issue or emilio simply does not have the capital to produce wheels for a few needy ********.
In other words, if you want 15x11's this year start a LLC and get enough money together to purchase all the 600 required sets. Then you'll see what the market demand is.
