What would be the needed projected retail price, per set of 5, to make it "happen"?

The project is dead in the water, due to the economic slow down. The market for hundreds of sets required for manufacturing efficiencies of scale and affordable pricing is not there presently.

Lots of people say they're interested, but when you ask them what they would pay per wheel, or if you tell them they must buy a whole set of 5, they either throw out a price so low that you can not recover the investment costs, go away pretty quickly.

Maybe something was lost to you when you read his reply above, maybe this will be easier for you ? ...

Le projet est mort dans l'eau, due au ralentissement économique. Le marché pour des centaines d'ensembles exigés pour des efficacités de fabrication de balance et de l'évaluation accessible n'est pas là actuellement.

Un bon nombre de gens disent ils sont intéressés, mais quand vous leur demandez que ce qu'elles payeraient par roue, ou si vous leur dites elles devez acheter toute une série de 5, elles l'un ou l'autre jet dehors un prix tellement bas que vous ne pouvez pas récupérer les charges de placement, partent assez rapidement.

Buzz,

Just to fill you in, John is one of the Partners in the wheel project. When we first started the Project the Minimum order was 800-1000 wheels we were Ok with that number and as tooling was finished and all licensing was completed the wheel company that we were dealing with changed policys/GM's and now Min order became larger, 2500 wheels!!!

We just dont think we can move that many wheels, thats 500 sets of 5 not to mention the storage for 2500 boxed wheels then add in the economy and there you have it!

Price on single sets of wheels wasnt our big issue its after we sell the first 50 or so sets of wheels what are we going to do with and where are we going to store the remaining 450 sets (2250 wheels)and will we ever sell that many sets in our lifetime???

Buzz we are not doing the wheels at this time. If your looking for a set of H's give Pete a call, Hes a straight shooter and will give you an honest decription!!!
Thanks Paul

I'm fixin,
"couple of dings,add proper "seasoning" and waa-laa! OEM!" THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN!!! We had company logo on the inside rimshell so everybody would know there a repo, theres lots of repro parts out there and there marketed that way!REPRO

---

no no no...im sorry if you assumed i was thinking you guys would do that...i ment,as a joke,that people looking to purchase said wheels,would try and pass them off as oem,like i have seen in the past,on other parts,and it was apparent that it's was a repo unit...please forgive my non-sense humor. i will retract my post,im sorry. ..mike

Guys, sorry for the delayed reply.

Wasn't trying to stir any pots. Paul did a great job (better than me) explaining what happened on the wheel project.

It was really a shame. We have a lot of sunk costs into the project, including engineering, trademark royalties, etc.

We really would have loved to make it happen, but the economy tanking was the final strike after the wheel company changed its minimum order quantity.

Last I spoke to Chrysler's licensing group (pre-bankruptcy), they had another interested party to make the wheels, so I'm not sure if everybody's dream of a repro H wheel might come true after all.

John , I'm the on this one ....
