It would take a 80 pc order for them to even consider it, as we are talking about having to make 2 new molds (one front, and one rear). This is typically a 30,000 capital investment....to be honest, only 2-3 guys have ever asked for 19s...so it would be a ways off.

TechArt formula has 19" available.....were you perhaps interested in those?

It really depends on how quickly it is needed. These came by ocean to reduce costs, since they were just for stock. If we have enough "hot" orders or stuff presold that we don't have in stock, then we can put a few pallets via air.

Rinspeed, Jonari, and Wheel Experts work really well together in terms of this product...it's been a great relationship thus far. I went to visit them on my trip overseas a few weeks ago, it's great to put things face to face.

Peter,

Thank you, but unfortunately my heart is set on the C5/1.

It is IMO the most beautiful of all after-market wheels. I remain hopeful.

Can

0815speedster is infamous around these parts

Peter, it was a pleasure talking to you last week here in ZÃ¼rich. I hope we will do good business in the future. Rinspeed will concentrate much on the US market and their Porsche clients. Take Care. Jens
