As far as the price we are hammering out shipping. We sell 15 x 7 GN wheels now for $225 each with a core. I'm trying to keep the price the same.No cores will be involved.
Honestly it comes down to how many we buy,shipping, & mold costs.
I know we have to buy 500 wheels. Mold costs are crazy. If I can guarantee sales of 500 in 1 year We will be able to do this.
I think it is feasable due to the fact we have done close to 4000 GN wheels in 9 years.
I'm thinking if we do a pre order on these that will help with our financial strain on the initial costs. It will also save you guys on the retail costs as well. The most important thing is it would give us a definite idea of how may we want. Any thing less then 500 rims we would have to retail them well over $350.00 each & I don't think the would help sell any. The idea here is to get them reasonable & get them out there.
Before we would even think of doing that I would post the pics of what the wheel would look like.
Once we sell the 500 we will be able to put $ towards building GNX wheels hopefully in 17" or 18".
What we have to charge now to re-do a 16" wheel I feel bad when I have to tell the customer he prices. Same goes with the GN steel wheels.
I will be honest I'm sure many of you know we are responsible for building alot of new items for our cars over the years but in the last 18 months it has been hard to do so because we can't make our $ back in a reasonable amout of time.
Any input is welcomed & now would be the time. I did go back & read a poll we had on aluminum wheels so ther was alot of input on that.
