Orbital Wheel Covers

[ranova]

those look pretty good but Ill hold off until full launch. Ive had too many bad experiences with past kickstarters. Latest update means they likely wont ship until nov/dec - IF there are no production issues (and Kickstarters always seem to run into these issues). Honestly, dont expect these until 2021

The black covers were suppose to start shipping in October. Anyone received their wheel covers yet?

I like the silver color one's but will wait until others start getting them and comment on fit and quality.

You probably won't see anyone getting it now, since their latest update said they are still doing tuning and sampling, and should be completed by end of the month, then they will start production.

I think we will probably get it by the end of the year, if things went well.

Another update from them:

• Please fill in your shipping information via the survey we sent on 5/16. We cannot send you the reward unless you do that.

1. We have been doing testing and we are very happy with the performance of the wheel cover.
2. We are confirmed to sample the tooling again next Thursday. We will be doing more tests on those new part samples and expect that to be final.
3. With the tooling fine tuning at the moment we are not able to realistically ship any rewards in until mid next month. As much as we are rushing this job we don't want to cut any corners.

Thank you for your patience.

Stay safe.

Sweet - Hope to have my set within the month.

Great info, please keep this thread posted when you see yours.

I'm starting a cross county road trip at the end of December, but it doesn't look like they'll be selling to the general public by then, so, I'll have to stick to my aero covers this trip.

Latest update from them:

"Last sampling went well but another fine-tuning was needed, which is underway at the moment. We are scheduled to sample again in two weeks and retest. This is offsetting our schedule again and pushing us into the holiday season.

Realistically we are looking at shipping in January for both colors now.

We appreciate your patience, we want to get you a perfect product and know it will be worth the wait."

Welp, looks like it might be right that things won't get shipped until next year.

 

[boiler81]

Yeah, I guess most saw this coming. Guess it won't be a Christmas present this year.

Disappointing. Use my Aeros as winter wheels, was hoping to have these when I put on my winters, which is tomorrow.

Yeah, I guess I'm doing the same, and leaving on a cross country road trip in Dec. with my ugly factory aero covers instead of these good looking aero caps.

When they become available we are in for the silvers for sure. The only site I can find is the kickstart site. Do they have their own site that we will be able to order from? An email point of contact?

Thanks in advance.

As of now you can only order it from Indiegogo, with the same estimated date as the rest of the backers, which they say it will be here January next year.

Thankyou for the link. We got burned on one of these kickstarts before. We'll wait till they ship and then jump in.

I'm with you, at this point we should just wait and order product units, rather then "speculate" that we will get them as a "perk".

Yep. Also odd that they don’t have an email address for enquires and only investors can see updates.

Meh. We can wait. From what I gather sometimes in January we’ll know more.

Typical Kickstarter BS. Probably won’t get them.

 

[Webeevdrivers]

Their website has gone silent again on updates. It looked promising but not so sure now. I wish Tesla would make something like this.

On the Orbital link under "comments" it looks like the "Project Owner" has been replying to inquiries (last one 8 days ago), albeit with a standard apology for delays in shipping, now indicated for January.

Thanks. I found the comments. Hope they get it sorted out. I guess we’ll see in January.
