This is turning out to be very interesting. Initially, the wheels would have only to be fit for a budget kit so I'm thinking buyers would perhaps source their own – probably the Slaters model mentioned earlier. However, I'd really like to get something produced and offered exclusively from the outset. Later, a highly developed kit would be offered, and I wouldn't like to compromise, so would include the wheels in the 'package'.
I spoke to someone today, who has spoken to Slaters previously about some custom wheels being produced. They would charge £1000 to set up the masters, plus the cost of producing the wheels on top. And these prices are a couple years old so could now be even higher.
When's all said and done, I would like to offer a set of wheels for either the 03 or 04 variants to be comparative to Slaters RRP with at least equivalent quality. I'm not sure it can be done.
