Whatever happened with the Moses Fuchs?
 
anyone get them? feedback? hoping they do deep 6 and 7, so want some news on the 17s.

I don't know about anyone having them, but they are available at the subydude site (don't know if forum rules allow posting the link so I won't - but the site name says it all).

Subydude is in the Philippines overseeing the first production run. The first container may have already shipped this week. I expect pre-order deliveries shortly.

Shaun @ Tru6 07-18-2007 02:36 PM

Thanks, do you know if he still has plans for the deep 7Rs?

Moses 07-18-2007 02:43 PM

Dunno. I think turbo fitment is next if this goes well.

Thanks for the update Moses. I was just about to PM you. I received the Pirelli PZero Neros yesterday in the same 17" fitment you have on your test wheel set, so I'm chomping at the bit to get them on when my wheels come (flat black centers, silver lip).

I just got my tires too. Continental, Conti SportContact 2 (free!) with that same fitment as Moses. I can't wait!

What does "if this goes well" mean?:confused:

I came THIS close to getting Contis, was considering both 2 and 3, but I had had such fantastic performance from the PZero Asymmetrico's I had on a 2002 C4S (same tires for street and track) that I decided to try the Neros. The first time I searched TireRack for Moses' fitment, they didn't have any Pirellis so I was leaning toward Contis. Free ? how'd you swing that ?

Sales. I don't anticipate any problems with the wheels. I have a mismatched set on my car now (paint samples). I can't wait to put on my RSRs.

I think he means if there is demand enough for the current ones to justify doing more and if people are satisfied with the result.

Edit: the man himself beat me to it.

Shaun @ Tru6 07-19-2007 10:32 AM

that's good to know!:)

FREE?!?

Man, I'm chompin' at the bit for my wheels. Hope they're on the boat right now. Think I'm going with Kumho VictoRacers.

I know some riders who are sponsored by Continental. I guess thats one of the perks of being a Pro BMX rider(thanks Rick!). I sent some pics of the car and they hooked it up! I'm psyched.

Here's the email I got today from subydude on delivery of the Rota's.

----------
royal black and hyper black fox front/rear are loaded on a container and on
its way. should be here in the next 3 weeks.

Fox 3 is next to be loaded. (that's the flat black center w/ the satin
polished lip)
Fox 1 is after that (which is the RSR look)

-sd
----------

So... what exactly does "Fox 3 is next to be loaded" mean in a time basis? Good for you guys that ordered the Hyper or Royal black finishes. Am I looking at another freaking month or two?:rolleyes:

petrolblue83911 07-26-2007 12:49 PM

Just curious, not bashing at all here!

so all of you who ordered (paid for) these last month are waiting for this first shipment to arrive?

:rolleyes:

Whoo Hoooo my royal blacks are their way. I hope they don't get sea sick and puke in the box.

I figured the royal hyper black would be the last to be made.... Now the proverbial slow boat from china or philappines as the case may be.

A Friend is converting an old gas station into a porsche play house. I will take a picture of the car on the hoist getting the new tires. It should all be done about the same time. Because I am running out of funding I am considering the Sumitomo HRZ tires in 215 and 255 sizes. Anyone ever use these.

In retrospect, it's sort of insane isn't it?

Yep, still waiting, patiently... Actually, I ordered mine back in May.

Insane? Not really. These early purchases were labeled "pre-orders" as the wheels were still in development. Pre-orders got a $200 discount.

Actually the time from concept to production has been pretty efficient, I think.
