20" MARAUDER REPROs

[lifespeed]

Best of luck to you since I would love to see this happen.

I had the same idea that I posted here last year but unfortunately all the manufacturers I contacted wanted a solid 1000 wheels sold before doing any work.

The cost of tooling for a forged wheel is enormous. I would be surprised if this is possible for the size of a group buy the members here could assemble.

Another possibility is hot-rolled cast where the outer rim is rolled under pressure to impart some of the strength of the forging process.

I agree it would hard to give up our light, relatively strong wheels. It is one of the few distinguishing features of the Marauder.

I'm pretty sure the Factory Reproduction stuff that you see for SRT8's and GM vehicles (repopping factory 20's in 22's) is just cheap chinese cast garbage. That's how they can keep the price down.

IF we had an option similar to these ($300-$500/wheel) I would be interested. These will be a cheaper wheel, they will be heavier, not as strong and won't hold up well - but a 20 inch Marauder wheel would look awesome. IT would be a great alternative for people like me who like the stock style, but want a 20. And most of us garage our cars and pamper them so you could get several years out of them before they start showing their age.

Then we can get group buys on re-chroming!

BTW, here is a photochop of what 20's could look like. I took the time to keep the brakes the same size so you could see how much smaller they would look.

I also assumed people would still want a slightly larger rear profile tire to keep in the spirit of the original combination. I think it looks insane and would be outrageous with those 4 inch MEGS.

That looks awesome! My wife would hate me if she knew my mind was even thinking about this. Uhm Uhm Uhm...

Someone photo shop that car with the 20" reps... I wanna see it just barely tucking the tire, cause that is my setup and I would love these 20's!

Now that would take me over the top. I'm a sucker for a lowered car already, but you go tucking tires and I'm taken. My old caprice was tucked on 20's with antraxx springs. My mustang had cut BBK lowering springs. My daily driver Honda civic is tucked too. See what I mean?

I also am a sucker for tucked tires...

I need camber bolts for the front bad... -2 degrees is best I can get.

 

[JBeezy]

I have camber bolts but I've not installed them installed. Had them over 6 mos now

Don't flame me to bad but this is a good idea of what our cars could look like lowered on 20's. It's a Chevy, but everyone loved this look no matter what their favorite brand was. I got compliments from all

Ive been shooping around the idea of a 20" Marauder wheel to several wheel manufactuers, and some have been very open to the possibility!:banana:

So at this point the question becomes what the mebership is feeling on this

As always i am looking to get an actual head count of members who are serious about making this a reality!

The wheels will be 20x9, or 20x10 depending on what is wanted, also a possibility is there to do forged or cast, but i can tell you right now a forged wheel will be very exspensive!

I have included a poll with options, so let me know what yall think. Also the wheels will be chrome.

I would LOVE a set of 20" Marauder wheels! Chrome would not be my first choice, I would perfer Polished/powder coat like the factorys. But as long as it is high quality chrome like on DUB's or real Saleen rims it would be OK.
So when can I buy mine in size 20x9?

There was never enough interest in this, so it never made it to a production point.

I know the Impala guys got it done with factory style wheels but DAYUM the price!!!

All bullsh@t aside...maybe we should have hit up the Crown Vic and Grand Marquis boys on this to help get the numbers up? I know the clone thing is a taboo to alot of folks around here but there is more of them than us and not everybody is interested in cloning...some would probably just like the option of having a bigger cool looking wheel.

**dons flame suit** :flamer:

 

[JBeezy]

The price is crazy, but do they have to be forged?

Was hoping to see this photo, but it's no longer up?? I'm contemplating lowering my car, but even so, the front wheel arch still seems to swallow up the stock 18s. (I have widened rims out back)

this might work

Wow, great work! Love the 20's.

We seriously need to pick back up with this.
