I have a hypothetical for you today. What if you could design your own 2, 3 or single block forged wheel? I mean the same quality build, weight and paint as HRE, DPE, Iconz.
BUT.....You choose the dimensions, number of spokes, the thickness of each spoke, make whatever shapes you want out of the spokes, add grooves, etc.
Basically, using a custom made graphic interfaced program you would be able to easily design your own wheels.
Now because forged wheels usually depend on size and such, imagine the price is about $100-$200 (each) above the price of other forged wheels. At that point I have a few questions:
-Does the brand name matter? If I gave you the option to have your own center cap printed and name engraved in the spoke would you do it?
-What would you be your main fears about this kind of process?
-Any other thoughts/opinions?
Thanks for all the help with some good ole' market research. :w00t:
