Drooling over the black and red one, it's sooo freaking sexy. I'm very picky with wheels but those really rock my socks....if anybody produces these I would buy one in a heartbeat.
Crazy P-Type thread
13
(UPDATE 3/06/2010) I have added a poll to this thread to try and get a better idea of what kind of sizes people have going through their heads when this "dream" is passing through. PLEASE NOTE, this is only for speculation, as I would like to know if there is a common place that most of us could agree on before I delve into any wheel revisions and modifications. For now, I would like to keep the offsets out of the picture, until some overall dimensions can be invisioned. I have not allowed for multiple answers to be given. It should be invisioned that these sizes will correlate to a ONE PIECE WHEEL, the same for front and rear. Staggered fittment is not in the picture, as it would create double the expense needed for two molds, and so it is out of the question. The only exception to this would be the last choice, where as it would only be the center of modular style 3 piece wheel (most likely a 15 or 16" center). I am doing this just so that when I start to revise designs, I try to have a common interest being employed in what you all will see. Thank you, -Mike END OF UPDATE
Don't anyone get excited. I don't think the p-types will ever be made aftermarket in any larger sizes...ever. But that doesn't mean we can’t dream and drool over them!!!

I have been toying with making a model of a larger wheel for the last few days while I have time (Just took four tests in a week, and now have some relax time!)
I thought it would be cool to post up what I have created so far.

I have plans to do alot of different things with this wheel, but I am also already working on designs that will sort of morph the design of the p-type with some other more modern design styles, such as the Volk/Rays TE37 and Simmons. Let me know what you think might be something cool, and if I have the time I'll try to model it if I also think it would be neat. Thanks for looking, -Mike.
MODS- Please feel free to move this to the Wheels / Toilet Threads if you feel necessary

Billy and Greg: I assume you don't want the lip as steep as this quick model I made; would you like the step more perpendicular to the lip? This model is a 45 degree step, 18x10 0mm offset with 2.5 inch lip and a 16" "face."

STEP FACE OUTLINED IN RED:
Step lip a bit more perpendicular to the wheel lip. Are you sure you want to see the face of the wheel start right at the edge of the step? It's starting to look more like a reverse lip now. If the face is lowerd more past the step, it will be more noticable as a step, but it will also loose almost all of it's concavity, and look more like a flat 15" l-type center....

Wow, I like the step lip style more than the reverse, I would have never thought I would have if I didn't model it:
