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

[Perry]

The Titanium color is a silver, is it darker than you were wanting?

This silver color would look nice on the Titans.

MY #1 CHOICE
Titan T-S5 in Satin Titanium
Wheel Diameter: 19" Square
Front Wheel size : 19" x 9.0"
Rear Wheel size: 19" x 9.0"
Offset: +30

Another vote for 19x9" square, with 30 offset! Though this isn't an option in either poll?!?

• slightly more grip than stock, while not sacrificing too much range
• 30 offset provides 10mm/.4in more track width
• square, so easy tire rotation
• good selection of tires in this size

My concern is 9.5 will sacrifice too much range. While 9.5 is only 1" wider than stock, that 1 inch is +12% wider, which is significant

Definitely interested in a set of 19" wheels, wish I'd seen this thread in time to switch back to the aeros

Yes it is too dark. My M3 color is Midnight Silver and that Titanium color is as dark but does not match. Your wheels either have to match the color of the car or if they don't, they need to contrast it. The Titanium does neither but clashes with the color. This is why in their videos you never see a dark silver car shown with their wheels. White looks great and light silver looks great with Titanium.

Good point. I'm getting a MSM TM3 and was leaning towards the titanium, but might have to get the black now.

Anyone with a MSM TM3 with the titanium wheels, please post pics.

Once the poll is done, how are you organizing the group buy? Is there a timeline? Sorry if this is already said, but I can see all of the interest but not clear on next steps and how you are tracking who to contact.

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

does anyone have good info regarding how Titan is able to get the wheels to this price point? Other manufacturers are charging $1K per rim, so I'm wondering why the price diff is so drastic. Is it simply because they can, or are there quantifiable things like keeping everything in house, different materials used, etc?

Titan Wheels History

I was chatting with Steve at EAS, and he mentioned there was a new forged rim coming to market soon that might be worth a look. He said the company was new, but the founder had worked in the wheel industry for a long time. It was called Titan 7. I looked into them a bit, and thought the wheels were attractive, but they weren't shipping yet, so I didn't put much effort into it.

Then in January, I was at Chuckwalla doing a Bimmer Challenge, and Titan 7 had a booth. So, I wandered over to say hi and ask a few questions. Eddie Lee, who is the founder, was in the booth and we ended up chatting for 45 minutes. He's a very nice guy who has a lot of industry experience and he patiently answered all my dumb questions. After that conversation, I was interested in the wheels. The T-R10 seemed to meet all the criteria in my list:

-They are claimed to be very strong due to a 10,000 ton press being used to shape the aluminum.
-This 10,000 ton pressing process also results in the rims being quite stiff and resistant to deflection under high-G loads.
-They are lighter than the ARC-8's. ARC-8 - 20.5 lbs versus T-R10 - 19.5 lbs (The T-S5 style is 18.8 lbs.)

VS Forged sells forged wheels in the $600-$700 range so I don't think their price point is that unbelievable.

I think its a hybrid of a couple different things, new company trying to go mainstream, all inhouse production, marketing, distribution and limited reseller network.

Also the legacy companies spend alot of monies marketing their stuff. hell there are whole magazines that support this industry.

VS Forged only has 20" wheels

Not sure where you got that from. Options start at 18" on the getyourwheels site. Regardless, my point was that the Titan price point isn't that drastically below all other competitors that it's so hard to believe they can sell them for that price.

I got it from the manufacturers site but maybe the site is outdated.
