Default NewGen: "LITE" Wheel in Step Lip!

I know many of you want to see them in Step Lip....

Check 'em out!
These are 19"x12", Gloss Black Outers, and Gun Metal Centers

Awesome. The step lip makes the wheel. I'm still curious why you had to change the hub/spoke design from the 1-piece. Is there an engineering or production reason associated with the 3-piece design?

Jon, you really need to stop posting these kind of pics.


I really like the the matte black center and gloss hoop.

They just keep getting better. Those are sinister but with a great retro vibe.

I think this wheel with a brushed lip would look pretty bad ass too. Finish options galore guys, anything you guys can think of... which include chrome outers too.

Default What about hidden hardware?

Is that an option?

The piece wheels are a completely different cross section.

The question I'm asking is why. The 1-piece center had a great look to it. Why would New Gen change it? I'm just trying to learn a bit about wheel construction here. Did they just want to change the design or is it something about the manufacturing process or 3-piece wheel engineering that drove the change?
