Any chance of some pics of the actual product, these PS pics look great but i'd like to see what i'm likely to be paying for, what are they made of, how are they fitted etc etc
hi,
Yes certainly, as of tuesday the product will be getting proffesionally photographed for MiniWorlds product page, so i will post those images when i get them. the actual rim trim itself uses the standard centre cap of the large majority of aftermarket wheels to hold itself to the rim. A combination of a 'wellnut' (a rubber grommet like part with a thread that clamps itself when in compression much like a riv nut will...), and a stainless steel m5 countersunk bolt pre attached to the rim trim with a clamping spacer and C clip. Instructions obvioulsy are supplied, the only work needed to fit them is to drill one hole in the middle of your centre cap to take the wellnut. I have tested this and completed a 1000 'hard miles'! with them on my car that produces 153bhp and there have been no problems what so ever.
The actualy product is made from a plastic of which i have two opotions at the moment as to what type of plastic, still in testing, either material can be easily and safely sprayed to any colour, covered in a graphic of the customers choosing, or simply just have your name in a small font on the edge, anything is possible and i can make them to order if required. but will be having a large batch manufcatured by a local plastics company...
In terms of which centre caps i have made them too, its the really strong type found on all superlites, i am going to have to investigate the mounting method for the 12" and 10" versions. As the centre caps on some are the thin plastic, flush versions that would not be suitable for this product...
Please keep in mind that this is a very new product that im stil finalising production methods to get it to the market, but they wont cost an arm and a leg! what sort of price would you pay for such a product? again many thanks for your interest.
please keep posted and visit
