Warp 9 Aluminum Wheel Bling! - Page 2

Since it was a request here are more truing stand detail photos. Width was dictated by my Marc Parnes wheel balancer http://www.marcparnes.com. The indicator arms are part of large hardware store (Ace) turn buckles and the knobs are from the Ace bits and pieces drawers. Same with the rubber leveling feet. Metal is what ever I could scrounge. Height to accommodate a 29” Mt Bike wheel though I’ve never used it for bike wheels just yet. Mostly just made it up as I went.

Again I don’t know how to solve the orientation problem, if I rotate image to account for it before posting it doesn’t make a difference? Sorry for that.

I’m running a Heidenau K60 Scout Rear Tire Size:130/8017 65T TL. It’s rated for a 2.5 to 3.5” rim.

Warp 9 2.50-19 front (rear MX SKU: 89-19362-2) $135.00
Warp 9 3.50-17 rear (front SM SKU: 89-17362-3) $179.00
csc 36 front spokes @ $1.75 each = $63.00
csc 18 in and 18 out rear spokes @$1.95 each = $70.20
csc spoke nipples front 36 @ 0.75 each = $27.00
csc spoke nipples rear 36 @$0.25 each = $9.00
csc front hub assembly $79.95
csc rear hub assembly $99.95

$660.10 just for parts for two wheels to maximize the performance of street tires stock sizes? Sheesh, hope I badly screwed the math.

I was told Warp 9 is "Made in China" I also looked at their site before I made and offered my 19 inch wheel options.

I strongly suspect if Chinese it is made by "Giant" a Taiwanese company and that is what I used (or close to same quality) for my high end front wheel.

19 inch rims in China are few and far between and next to no color options either.
Was talking to a client about wheels and a supplier of rims and who built my wheel - KTM use "Made in China" rims from Giant. (these are hard to get locally and very pricey)

I aim to ship and sell a complete 19 inch (7075 Ali)wheel for this quality USD$275 or the cheaper Ali option (7116 Ali) for $230 - The USA sold is $199 for a complete wheel with a steel rim.

How much did it cost money and time to build those 2 wheel? nice to have a color choice I gotta say!

Here's my wheel option with a bigger brake option
