Default New Wheels on the way.

I have been looking for wheels for quite a while not really knowing what I want and not seeing anything that checked the right box. We are very fortunate to have a great vendor network for our cars and I started a conversation with Eric Nareshni from Supreme Power. I had worked with Eric before on some mods for my previous 4S and he was great to work with and provided great service. Eric is producing wheels in the US (California) with a manufacturer with 42 years of wheel experience. I wanted something that would provide custom offsets for my TTS and some unique finishes. The wheels will be under the brand Supreme Forged.

I just received the 3D renderings for the machining process which is attached. The actual video is a bit heavy to attach so just some of the screen pics.
Excited to go through this process and Eric has been great sharing the development along the way. I chose a Black Brushed Translucent finish which I received metal center caps in color to make my decision which has a great see through look. My color is as the Velos center cap which shows different in different light. There are 2 photos of the finished wheel style without the dark translucent finish. I'll keep posting as the wheels move to finishing for those interested. Great to work with someone new in the wheel market.

They look good. How will compare price-wise to HREs?

Not cheap, as they are made in the US and genuine forged but I liked working with Eric and I wanted custom offsets.
I just didn’t see a wheel from HRE I wanted and I’ve owned HRE on a previous car.

I have HRE P101s already, but wondering an approximate price range in case I want to get a set for another car. If they are more than the HREs, then I'd just get HREs, if less expensive, then I might consider them. That's why I was asking.

Hey MC
Reach out to Eric at Supreme. He was really good to work with. They should be more economical than HRE and the workmanship looks excellent.

Not to my OEM. They are close to the GT3 RS wheels but with subtle changes, lightening in the spoke areas and most important they are offsets for my TTS and finished to my color spec.

Update. We have forgings and have started machining. The wait is slowly decreasing.

Forged and machined barrel ready for machining face

Ready set go.

And the wheel starts to take shape

The Goal

More to come with finished pics.
