So.... as someone who used to sell high end aftermarket wheels here’s a few pieces of advice... as someone already mentioned, the wheel design isn’t slowing down the sales of new MBs. The number of people that would call us and drop 5-10k on wheels and tires for a new car would boggle your mind.

Now that being said I looked at his site.

That first design doesn’t look structurally sound. I’ve never seen any of the big manufacturers do something with that narrow of a spoke on a 5 spoke, there’s a reason for that.

That website is begging for a cease and desist letter from Mercedes

A large chunk of the high end aftermarket wheels in the US are coming out of just a few main factories in Miami and LA, your guy would be best getting setup and having them build them and sell them himself. But be warned the wheel game is harsh, and margins get thin in a hurry.

Lastly..... them some fugly wheels. I don’t see there being a market honestly.
