hey frank,
you should try to post an interest thread for the monoblock VI's. if you look back at the first thread of interest, the poll has the mono's and the 1/16 tied. maybe just trying to see who would be dedicated for those could be an option?

What's the offset for front and back?
If lip for rear is approximately 2", what is it for the front, same or more flush say ~1"?
Do you know if they make a "deep" lip version?
These are powdercoated right?
Last, question: Can they make a extra "deep" lip version? (I've seen some replica VI in extra deep lip style, I think 3"-3.5" for rear)
Just checking, this sounds like a good deal, especially if you can get them powdercoated, would be interested in gunmetal. Keep you posted on my request; would prefer deep lip.

front is flush.
They will be painted black straight from the factory, not powdercoated afterward.
The deep lip you are speaking of are usually made of 2 piece. These are 1-piece, so no, the lip is what given from the mold they have.

gunmetal?
FrankW, sounds like they want to stick with black. Any chance of gunmetal like the SL65? I'll be the forth for gunmetal. Anything you can do would be much appreciated, thanks for setting this up.

You selll your Volvo to your friend? I recognize the bolt pattern from my 98 S70. I suppose with these wheels, it would look something like this---> (maybe someone could photoshop in the black centers)

Gunmetal
Frank, can you PM me if the supplier is willing to make a one-off set and how much. I was at my local MB dealership and they had a silver SL65 with those AMG rims in the gunmetal, looks awesome as you can still see the split spoke design. I'm thinking that with the black centers, from afar it's a bit difficult to see the design.
Don't mean to be a pest but I really like the gunmetal color and may be willing to pay a little more, dependent on how much they are willing to charge. Thanks again for this setting up this groupbuy.
