Coddington 17" p-type replica's

[Austin E]

I'm making this thread to take Supersubs thread (http://forums.celicasupra.com/showthread.php?t=54567) to the next level. I know when he started it, he wasn't really thinking it would go anywhere besides a fancy pipe dream. But, luckily for us, it is being made into much more. Thanks to his designs, and work he has put into those designs; having these remade is going to be a reality.

The wheels are going to be available in the following configurations:
Stepped lip only
17x8, 17x9.5, or 17x11
They do not offer a 17x8.5. They just don't do it for some reason, that's all I can tell you.

Offset: From -12mm to +25mm and anywhere in between. When I set up the group buy, you can specify your exact offset you want for front and rear. That also obviously makes it available for L-types.

They will come in a polished finish. If anodizing or powdercoating is wanted to be done, it would be $100 more a wheel, depending on how many they run of the anodized or powdercoated wheels.

Price: At this point, the estimate I have is right around $2600 a set.

Lead time: Once the group buy is completed, right around six weeks. This will have to happen after the first set is made, then test fitted on a car with a J/K bbk. As far as we know, according to the renderings made by Mike(supersubs) they will fit. But we obviously need to be sure. They're located in Kansas City, Mo, so the easiest way to test fit these would be to have someone who lives somewhat close, with a bbk, go to their shop and test fit. I doubt we'll find someone to do that so I'll probably end up having them shipped for test fitment.

Edit: They are located at:
Genuine Boyds
7211 NW 83rd Street
Suite 250
Kansas City, MO 64152


That's all I have to say at this point, check this thread for updates. If you have questions please post them here.

Here is the rendering that we sent Coddington:


Here's the photoshop Mike did to Dave's car. If he does anymore I hope he will post them here. I am terrible with photoshop.

Also:
Biggest reason for stepped lip, rather then reverse lip like Malloy has on his Ssr's, is the size availability Coddington offers.
For 17" reverse lip they only offer:
17x7, 8 and 10

I'm in....not sure how far they are from Dave Shepard but he's in so-cal with a front and rear BBK.

I'm sure that is a typo there Austin

Ha! I was about to say the same thing. We don't want to scare people away already Austin!

A huge thanks for Austin pushing this through to multiple companies looking for someone to take the initiative and time to give us some figures! I never had the time or libido to do this on my own, so this is all at Austin's credit!

Can't wait for updates!

i was thinking 10gs is a painful price but mike your other posts with the black and red wheel made me pee a little, thats the sexiest thing i've ever seen.

Those who routinely drive in the rain will appreciate the stepped lip.

His other post in the pic thread was 2850 per set IIRC. Which, is more than a realistic price, for custom wheels. Last set I had done, 10 years ago, was 800ish per wheel.

Who drives in the rain? << Garage Queen sits inside collecting dust and dryrot>>>


I for sho would have to rock the polished wheels for a while before I dare dissassemble them and have them coated any color. It could be a devistatingly expensive mistake!
