Finally have an update for you guys. Was able to find a machine shop that quoted a much better price than previously mentioned. Price will be around $130 shipped. They will be anodized black and laser engraved with a logo. Unfortunately, it would be too expensive to do custom engraving ($40 setup fee for every design). The anodizing and laser engraving don't really change the cost as long as they are all done the same. Unfinished aluminum would only be a $15 difference. Please comment with suggestions. |

Sorry I forgot that part. Machine shop says 4-5 week lead time but he would try to squeeze it in earlier. May be possible since it's a relatively low quantity.

I prefer aluminum. Then I can just get them powdercoated to match my wheels.

Engraving: I think plain looks dumb. Do you guys want to get them engraved with the model number of the wheels, the WEDS logo (sue us, we don't care!), or some such?

This was the idea:
But it is juts that.. an idea. If the general vote is against it then it won't be on there. |

I'd prefer black, no logo I can 3M my own logo cap over it if I choose to do so. If it has to have a logo, I'd prefer a simple WedsSport one.

If they have to be engraved, then I would want WedsSports or TC105N to be engraved on the center cap. I am fine with black since my Weds lugs are black.

While I'm not buying these, my vote would go to no logo and raw aluminum. Let people pick the paint that matches their wheels. And why brand a logo on something and have it detract from the look of the wheels? Just my 2 cents.

Order has been placed with the machine shop. Should be about 4-5 weeks (I'm hoping they can fit them in much sooner). Half will be plain aluminum and the other half will be plain black anodized.
