Group Buy Poll for Mono-Block Forged Alloy Wheels by Titan 7

[Perry]

22 lb is pretty heavy for an 18" wheel. The Titans weigh as little as 18.3lb.

No its for a 19x9.5 wheel. Do you know what the Titans weigh in this size?

Are these prices supposed to go up at some point after the group buy?

The group buy wasn't for special pricing, as much as it was to just get enough people interested in buying the wheels. If you go to Titan7's website, or even to Evasive's, you can see that the pricing lines up with their offerings for other autos. Still, it's a decent price for forged wheels. If you look around, you'll be hard pressed to find anything under $3k for fully forged wheels.

I'd be all in on a set of the T-R10s in 19x9.5 +35, but they don't seem interested in making that size, and are certainly not interested in returning inquiries about that size.

What do you guys think of VS08 – Vertini Wheels as an alternative for Titan T-S5.
They have the same look and about the same price as the Titans. Fully forged mono-block. Available now and with a lot more sizes and finish options. They also do custom center bore and lug nut config specific for Model 3. I asked and they weight 22 lbs. Forgot what the Titans weigh.

I read somewhere on the AMG forums IIRC that the VS forged wheels are not designed for the track. I

I called and left message... awaiting to see this will happen before I leave a deposit....

I would be interested in the source for that info regarding VS forged wheels. I thought by definition fully forged are the strongest and lightest so then it follows that they would be good for track. Are the Titan 7 designed for track?

Yea, that's pretty light. Only thing stopping me from getting the Titans is that they don't offer bright silver. All they have is these darker finishes that seem to be in vogue these days.

I'm running these in a 19x8.5 +30 fitment. As noted by another poster, they are not designed for track use, but I'd bet they're better than the stock 20's that came with my perf model for that. Regardless, I'm using them as winter wheels w/Sottozero 3's. They look great, fit great, are just over 19#'s and I was able to order exact fitment and finish I wanted. Couple that with fairly quick order to inhand time (just under 6wks) and fairly low price, I'm happy.

Not to take away from the Titan 7's. For true track enthusiasts they would be a better choice imo. I may still get a set for summer/track use.

One of the knocks against the VS Forged for track use is the load rating at around 1500#. I assumed the Titan 7's are higher, but a quick online check shows the TS-05's in 18x8 at 690Kg (1521#'s). Maybe one of the wheel/track experts can chime in on what to look for in a load rating and track appropriate wheel for the model 3.

You need to look at the dynamic loading

 

[Xenoilphobe]

I'm with @Feathermerchan those are too heavy for the price point. For the 3 the 18's wheels in mono-block forged alloy should be ~18 lbs, the 19's ~19 lbs and the 20's ~ 20 lbs.

 

[Feathermerchan]

Of course wheel width makes a big difference. And being further from the center of rotation, makes more difference.

22lbs seems high for VS Forged VS08's in 19x9.5. My shop weighted one of my 19x8.5's on their scale before putting them on the car at 19.6lbs.

Edit: here's the VS08 in a 20x10 coming in at 20.8

 

[Feathermerchan]

Since the volume of metal in the wheel is roughly proportional to the diameter, the same size 19" wheel should be about 5% heavier than an 18" version. That comes out to 20.7 lb (19/18X19.6) The 20 is a little wider so maybe 21 or 22 lb is OK.

Are those Titan 7 19"s in your avatar?

 

[Perry]

Maybe the guy I asked was not precise enough. I asked a chat guy on GetYourWheels site and he said about 22lbs. That did sound a little heavy to me but the spokes do seem slightly thicker than the Titan 7.

[Kevintq88]

Are they willing to make a staggered set up for these wheels? Or is it not recommended for a staggard set up with P3D+

 

[Feathermerchan]

According to Mountain Pass, you don't need staggered.
