Post RE-DESIGNED HUNTLEY WHEELS! BIG PICS!!

We have re-designed the Huntley Racing wheels to further lighten the design and maintain high strength. What do you think? These wheels run $2000+ a set in 17" or 18" and start at only 13# per wheel!! Here are a few pics:

BLING, BLING!! Actually they look pretty good. Do they offer them with a less shiny finish? What kind of widths and offsets?

The finish on the car was a full polish. We can do then in a clear anodize to mute the shine a bit and add some protection for easy clean up. The wheels are all custom built to order so any ofsett within reason is possible and we make 17" and 18" rims from 7" wide to 14" wide in 1/2" increments. Here is a pic of the old style anodized:

Here is the write up on the wheels telling how they were conceptualized:

The Huntley Racing wheels are made for uncompromising performance in the most demanding environments. We start with a forged center designed with the following elements: Strength (ten spokes for better load distribution and forged construction), Lightweight (best weight to strength wheel on the market, often half the weight of the competition!), Air Flow (open spoke design allows for tremendous airflow to the brakes and suspension), Pit Handling (easy hand hold design for the pit crew to grab onto), Price (has to be affordable for the club racer), Serviceable (just in case, we can replace rim sections cheaply!), Style (function does lead to a pretty form!). All DOT testing has been done to assure quality! Standard finish is fully polished centers and outers, which minimizes crack propagation and hardens the surface of the wheel. We can clear anodize or anodize in colors. Powder coating is also available.

Are there any out there interested in 16"? We stayed away from those since everyone is going 17" or 18" but all of a sudden we have a lot of interest in 16". So I would like to hear if anyone elce would want them too.

I too would be interested in the 17 x 8, 17 x 10, anodized black. In addition to cost, what is the weight?

The wheels in 17/8 and 17/10 full polish are $2254 a set and the anodized black will add $50 a wheel (we can do just the centers with the rims still polished or the rim and centers anodized for the same $50 charge). So the rims with anodizing will run $2454.00 a set. the weights are as follows: 17/8 = 16# and 17/10 = 17#

Look very similar to the Circle Racing wheels.
