Not sure how interested 4, 5, and 7 are, but seems the others have expressed strong desire. Seems consensus is around OEMish of not more than 8.5 front and 10 rear with ET to match widths so as not to need spacers, although I would add pushing them out a little bit to give that nice fill look. I think you're doing that on the 19s, but again would like to know details if 18" project comes to fruition.

There are several people interested but we need committed buyers. If we can have 5-6 buyers we can start a production for the 18" batch.

An 18" will cost about $2700, the sizes will be probably the same at 8.5F/10.0R. All the finishes are available

Please read above.

About $2700/set.

Lets get all the committed buyers added on the list and if we have more than 5 buyers we can go ahead and proceed with production once we have collected all the deposits.

Carlos any ideas on weight. To me that is one of the most important factors. I realize the only way to get exact weight is by making them. I assume if you have made them for BMW in 18" ; As a result you can have a good educated guess.

Not sure they made an 18" for the bimmer guys as all I have seen is 19". Since the 19's were 19lbs I would assume the 18's would be slightly less say maybe 0.5 -1.0 lbs less.

Good Morning,

We were not able to obtain the minimum required amount of participants for our Group Buy. We have officially suspended the 19" VS8 Cayman production. If there is enough interest in a 18" production please let me know and I`ll schedule a production for it.

Carlos

I'm sure if you produce the wheels, people will buy. You can't just expect people to commit for a product they don't know and never saw it. Make it and you'll sell in the long run. I'm sure I would be a buyer if you had the wheels available.

Given that I've just bought the Neez QD7 for close to 6K, I would've gotten 2 sets if Morr had the wheels available.

That is our goal. We`ll make a small batch and evaluate the market response.
I`m sure the product will be well received.

Carlos,
I believe you guys are in SOFL. I'm in Miami and I'll gladly let you guys use my car as the test-fit and first set on the caymans. I can do a review of the wheels and post on every porsche site and work a deal to keep the wheels. If you are interested, please let me know as I'm in the process of buying BBS LM's but I would go with you guys if you are serious about it. I love the design and have seen the wheels on a 335.

...I agree

Show me a picture of the finished product, preferably in gunmetal on a cayman S in 19" size...and I'll shoot over the funds right now... You sure 10.5" rears wont be available...I'd be much more willing, seeing as though thats the size I'm considering buying the HRE P40's in... Please get back to me Carlos

Show me a finished wheel!

I am also interested but want to see the finished product and in stock before I commit.

The BMW guys on E90Post have had an awful experience with their group buy. No wheels 6 months after payment, poor communication from MORR, damaged wheels, MORR now blaming their vendors, probelms with getting refunds, and the list goes on. That's too bad.
