Don't know if they would be interested but worth a try as our wheels are getting older and flakier.its worth a try!

I would need to know the cost of a set (delivered) and the final finish of the wheels (chrome or polished alum) before even considering them for my car.

They would not look the same, as the spoke bend would be different , and the lip would look different.

So if I did the 3 piece for the fronts and 1 piece in the rears will they look the same appearance wise? Assuming chrome finish.

Thank you!

Mark,
Here is what you need to fit your prowler:
5 on 4.5 bolt pattern
Front 17 x 7.5, 5.5 rear backspace
Rear 20 x 10, 6.25 rear backspace

I can see where the price of a 3 piece wheel sounds expensive, but look at it this way. 2 molds would be needed to build a Prowler staggered wheel set up. Each mold as between $60,000-$80,000, so times that by 2, $120,000-$160,000 The first run of wheels, need to be DOT tested, and are all destroyed during testing. Once passed then production can begin.

With only 11,702 total Prowlers ever built, And not every Prowler owner would buy a set wheels, The total number of consumers are just not there to support a cast, fitment specific wheel.

Thanks, JT

John, thank you for your quick reply! I want to do your Legend in a 20x10 w a 5.5 backspace in chrome which is a one piece. I've been told you don't make the f10578065 which has the 5.25 backspace for the fronts.
The three piece ,I understand is fairly expensive. Any thoughts as to how many of these 5.25's you'd need to sell to revisit re-production of this particular wheel?

I'm a member on the prowlers owners website and quite a few are looking for rims.ill take a poll and see what kind of numbers we'd be talking about.

Thanks

Mark,
Thank you for your interest in FOOSE DESIGN WHEELS. In order to get you an all chrome FOOSE Nitrous, and fit your Prowler, we would have to build you a three piece wheel. You will switch to the F300 Nitrous SE.

Thanks

JT

Mind you these are custom built to whatever offsets you spec.
Still rich for my blood.
I think Someone else does a custom in the old school look ( American racing?) but not as sharp as Foose.

the 20x10 5x4.5 5.5"bs in chrome is still available. this moves your rear tire/wheeel outward about 3/4 inch over stock.should be no problem with rubbing assuming stock tire.

the fronts have to go to 18x8.5 5x4.5 6.1"bs which works out to be a34 offset vs. 32 offset for stock. Pretty Damn close!

prices were $375 and $335

now the question, is anyone running 18"s? if so what tire size are you running? And what width are you running?

and he does not know what the offset is or model number of the rim but here is what it looks like without the proper offset.

The fender can be moved out 1/2" by mounting the bracket on the outside. This may or may not be an appearance issue for you.
