Hello all,

I want to indroduce my company, Hydyne Motorsport, and myself. We are a small company based in Spain making inroads into the US market. Currently we specialize in making wheels for F1 and DTM, but we are expanding into the street car wheel market, specializing in custom one off wheels.

The term custom has become extremely common and has lost all meaning. Right now custom means anything from a cast wheel that is made in the hundreds of thousands but happens to not be OEM, to a wheel that is made in smaller numbers but happens to have a color specified by the customer. Now there is certainly nothing wrong with any of those types of wheels, but the true custom one off has been bunched into that category.

Some of our wheels do fit into that category as they are produced in series, although we limit model runs to a maximum of 100 sets or less. Some wheels we manufacture to the customers specifications and produce one set, after which the model is not reproduced any more, period. Not one set for a BMW, and one set for a Porsche, just one set. Naturally this comes at a price.

Our wheels all start as forged blanks, and we do 2, and 3 piece as well as monoblock wheels. Naturally the finish is also custom as we don't finish the wheel until it is purchased. Here are a few examples of things we have done for customers, and a couple that we have build just one of to showcase but haven't made for anyone yet.

We are currently working on bringing to market a 17 inch wheel for the Boxster spec series specifically designed and made for the Boxster. I will post on the Boxster section about that.














Thank you for reading!

For your sake, I hope I'm alone on this one, but i wouldn't rock a single one of those centers on any car that I've owned. Maaaaybe the first one, somehow, but not really sure.

good luck.

 

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the constructive criticism. However, we are not judges of taste, we build whatever our customers want, whether we like the design or not. That is why we are a true custom wheel manufacturer, we build what people ask us to, we don't manufacture one design and hope everyone likes it. You know what they say, different strokes and all that.

I absolutely agree. We need more of you guys out there, and I'm certain there are tons of customers that have what it takes (finacially & logically) to create their one off masterpiece.

Well said, and as mentioned, good luck to you.

 

Thanks for the good luck wishes Tony!
