The New 17" PYOs from WCfab

Only what I saw on Facebook. I was hoping they would offer an 18" version.
Yeah, they definitely pricey! So is everything else these days. But I'd still like to know if anyone has put any on a Cateye. I would think they'd have people send pics to their instagram/ or other socials to build some interest. Maybe folks dont want to get roasted for paying that much for a set of wheels. Their little video of them on the red GMC doesn't do a good job showing the stance from the front or back, and the camera angles are too close for me to really get a feel for how they look.
17x8.5 -- what GM should've made in the first place. Never could understand the 6.5 width. But yeah, way too high a price point.
Could you imagine how popular these would've been 15-20 years ago?

I'd buy a set if it was $1k or under
15+ years ago I put a set I got from discount tire for my LB7 for $100 each. Where pretty nice too. Saved them when I sold the truck. Put them on my trailer. These are like 7X that
I’d pay $3000. Not many forged wheel options at 17”. Never mind with factory offset and without faggoty “bead locks”.
I do want a set.

If they were for a 17.5" or a 19.5" tire one might be more inclined to spend that much money.
People buy those American force wheels at there prices....
Forces way pricier than that lol
My point exactly...
I wouldve bought a set in 2007 if they'd been available. Then, after Roni was done with me for spending the coin, Id be sleeping in the truck with my wheels.
The cost is absolutely keeping me away. The set I saw in person looked phenomenal but not at $3k.
For that price I'll go find some nasty ones in a scrap yard, clean em up, powder them "chrome" and move on with life haha.

I have seen where some one was stripping them and doing a Black Chrome type finish. Looked really good but wasn't sure about longevity.
My OEM's are still in great condition. I just wish my 285's would wear even. And I rotate them often, but If I have to up the PSI for towing they get "squirrely" unloaded. I mean they drive okay, but I think a wider rim would help it hold the road better, and I like the factory look. I'm in the middle of mold induced bathroom remodel currently so these are not likely in my future, but I still find it interesting that I cant find anyone posting about these.
I guess its mostly the younger generations that post on social anyway, and they just wanna show off their "Graps" I'm guess I'm just getting old and so is my truck lol.

My set shows up this weekend. As far as I can tell the size and offset is identical to the GM factory Hummer H2 rims which work great with the 315/70R17 tires (35x12.5") I like to run.
Yeah, they're stupid expensive but I love the stock rim style, but want to stick with 35s, and it's been a good year at work so why not light a little money on fire?
I'll get some accurate weights soon and some photos later on once I get some new rubber on them.
