Any Interest in DPE Wheels?
Hi Everyone
I'm a new vendor on the forum selling DPE wheels. Here's some background on DPE:
Dynamic Performance Engineering's (DPE) custom forged wheel line utilizes the highest quality forged T6 - 6061 aircraft aluminum components in the manufacturing process to ensure each wheel is lightweight while maintaining stringent structural integrity specifications. R&D followed by Computer Aided Design (CAD) is used to create digital models in order to build prototypes, which are then rigorously tested at independent labs to exceed the standards set by the Department of Transportation (DOT).
Is there any interest in this brand? I know there are a lot of forged wheels on the market but DPE has been around for quite some time offering HRE quality at a much more reasonable price.
Let me know. Feedback would be greatly appreciated and help me understand the MB market.
I'll leave you with some pictures.

Signature Series 3pc ($3800 - $5200)
R Series 2pc ($3000 - $4000)
GT Series 2pc ($3400 - $4600)
DPE is also developing their monoblock series w/ introductory pricing that's very competitive w/ HRE. I can't publicly give out the price though so you'll need to PM me.
Pricing might be a bit steep but I have a very close relationship with DPE and we're always willing to try and work something out with customers.
Here are a few of the options you can customize:
Custom Color Outer Lip
Custom Color Inner Lip
Color Match/Custom Center
Custom Colored Rivets/Bolts
Pinstripe
Lip Strip
Two Tone Centers
Titanium Fastners (Saves 1-2lbs per wheel)
