Any ETA updates for some of us about to buy Dekagrams to fit your 11.75 brake kit? Really wish they fit my current 6UL's...sigh.
Actionable information always goes out to our broadcast email list first. If you're not already on that shoot us one info@949racing.com.
The new 15x9 will be a Coto as it is not possible to fit our BX1175 behind the inset spokes of a 15x9 6UL. You can see from the pictures in the 1st post,. They look the pretty much the same viewed straight on, Coto just has to spoke over the lip.
I'm just making this estimate up based on what we know now,. But I think we might be able to ship 15x9 Coto by mid July.

As always, thank you for the information. I think I'm on the email list, or at least assumed I was since I'm registered on the site and participated in the survey.
Not the end of the world buying two sets of wheels this year I suppose. I need to find a set of 15 x 10" 6UL's. I haven't had any luck in the last year or so. Womp womp.
CAD render of the 15x8 6UL. Finalized and ready for production. We're still working on the paint finish so that's the hold up currently. Assuming we can get that sorted soon, we could have wheels here by January or so. Production finish will be darker, much like the OEM finish on ND wheels. Other widths in 15" and 17's will follow soon after the 15x8. We'll send a broadcast email to our mailing list when we open up for pre-orders.
About 11.9 lbs, rated at 550kg, tilt cast and flow formed, lifetime warranty
Doing the 6ul first is obvious. Coto seems like a 6ul for fitments that can't fit a 6ul, kinda like a 6ulr just done better. I think the Sanger would poll better if people were able to see them on a car; they know 6ul's look good IRL. I see the Sanger as a nicer K1 in modern widths & offsets, assuming a 15" Sanger keeps the thin spokes instead of getting thick like some Rota. A gravity cast Sanger in lower volumes would be nice for us who don't ride all out, but I can also see a gravity cast wheel not being in your ethos.
Regardless, we all can't wait to see the new 6UL's!
Actually you've called it pretty accurately. The plan is to keep 6UL and Coto as the higher end tilt cast offering. Sanger as a gravity cast - flow form can be made in much lower volumes and a lower retail price. Our intent is to use the Sanger for niche or especially price sensitive fitments. That said, the Sanger will use the same common construction technique as pretty much every other wheel on the market including some relatively high-end wheels seen on European cars. Tilt casting is very exclusive.
17x8 clears OEM Brembo and 12.19 Wilwood. 17x9 Z+45 might also fit the 12.88 Wilwood but we haven't checked it yet. Both have the same face. Weights should be about 15.1 for the 17x8 and about 15.9 for the 17x9. VIA rated at 585kg, 17% higher than our G4 wheel (which was 5% lighter). Knurled beads, double valve, lifetime warranty. We'll also offer in in Charcoal, pictured earlier. We hope to open pre-orders for the ND wheel in September. Ship date TBA.
