NWS - DPE SP-sc???

Ok these are too sexy to hold back much longer. There will be more suprises behind this but here is a sneak peak to what will be coming in the next week or two. Ditching the dark look and going clean and mean!

DPE SUPER Concave series w/Brushed Aluminum Face
20x9.5 +25 1.5" lip
20x11 + 38 4" lip

For now, my current 285s, but once I get these sold or worn, they will be 305s.

Trust me I want to see them as bad as the rest of you haha. Manu at DPE has delt with my 20 dif color and offset changes and some crazy ideas to make these fit. A little custom forging and dozens of headaches later we are almost done. Actually... I threw in one last idea when I got these pics that may stall it out just a little longer... ahhh!!! so many choices lol.

Thanks, trying to get something moving on the hardware to change it up some.... ahh, the anticipation is killing me now that I've seen pics as well! All I've had are build drawings up till now! Just FYI, I tried to go with the Super Concave series first, but our offsets aren't low enough (without going crazy) to give us enough lip for the forge to clear. After a little thought and convincing me and Manu, came up with an idea to move the hardware register back to allow for more lip, while retaining medium offsets. The result works great on the concave face since the spoke "legs" travel to the register anyway, allowing for more lip without sacrificing offset, or having a "convex" look like some cast wheels... ex:



Instead of the spokes traveling inward at the outter most point the "legs" travel while the spoke remains at the face of the lip.
