(popping sounds)
- Jesus, alright already.
- This is ridiculous.
- In the beginning we covered XXR
because that's what you guys wanted us to talk about.
Then we covered Work and everything was going really great.
We talked about a cool company, Work.
It had a bunch of history, it had stuff, it had wheels,
it had heritage.
Then we went into Rotiform,
we talked about being the bros and the hipsters
and having all the cool wheels.
Then we started to talk about
a whole bunch of different brands
and they all had history and it was all exciting
and which pretty much covered every single brand
except JNC and Varrstoen.
It's not because we didn't want to.
It's because the internet would not supply
the information needed to make a video
that actually had some substance to it.
That's the best that I got.
Because now,
we finally have a little bit of information on JNC.
So we thought we would finally indulge you guys
on the one wheel brand you have been asking for
since the dawn of time.
For the amount of effort
that we put into making this goddam script
you better subscribe or so help me God,
I will go through this camera
and I will find you.
Also, stay with us to the end of the video
we're actually doing a giveaway
and it's a pretty decent giveaway.
'Cause we like giving away stuff.
Right.
JNC Wheels.
Let's just do it.
JNC Wheels was founded in 1998 by a person, of some kind,
we don't really know who he is, but it was founded in 1998.
JNC Wheels has a pretty interesting history.
It was founded in California, it was founded in 1998
and it was founded for one or two very simple purposes.
To sell wheels and, and, to, to,
- To, to, to, today Junior!
- To do that online.
That was pretty much it.
With the booming of e-commerce
and the way that the whole internet was booming
back in 1998.
You guys remember, RoomScape, old school,
even the beta version was just coming out.
You're young, you're a young buck and you're like,
I wanna go play video games on the computer.
But you couldn't, because your mom was on the phone.
And if your mom was on the phone
and then you picked up the phone
to make sure you could get on the internet
and then they're talking to Auntie Susan
about how you're a disappointment.
And then it was just a really tough time
when you were a child and then you had to grow up.
And you had to realize that you didn't have the confidence
that you thought you did.
So then you just start making videos on YouTube
to talk to strangers that can't talk back.
Because that's the only way
that you can get self affirmation.
Wow!
So anyway, like I was saying, back in 1998
the e-commerce was really booming.
Ebay and all those sorta companies were really taking off.
And there was companies that were getting involved
that were like, how can we make this about automobiles?
And so, essentially, somebody came along, was like,
well, how 'bout we do that for wheels?
And JNC Wheels was founded.
Now, JNC Wheels was founded in 1998
and because of the booming of the e-commerce
and online retailing, is really why JNC got so big.
It didn't take very long for JNC Wheels
to start making a name for themselves.
In fact, they've had monumental growth
in the last 20 years that they've existed.
Now, JNC Wheels is a company that,
in terms of heritage, and history and stuff like that,
there's really not a lot to them.
They have a few different warehouses.
They employ about 30 employees,
depending on which warehouse you do business in.
They do business across the world.
They do a lot of business in the United States, in Mexico,
in Japan, Oh Canada, up North there, dontcha know?
And they do business in other countries as well.
But JNC Wheels, isn't a company
that is very similar to a company like Advan,
or something like that.
Where it was bred for a specific purpose.
JNC was more like, let's just do it
and see if we can make some money and JNC did just that.
They're really never stopped.
In fact, they've had like a 20% growth, year over year,
ever since they were founded.
They really have no plans of slowing down any time soon.
JNC Wheels is founded under aluminum alloy wheels.
So there, one piece cast wheels.
They're gravity cast.
I think they're gonna plan
on going into low pressure casts in time,
but for the most part,
a lot of what JNC prides itself on
is just having wheels available
in a bunch of different sizes and finishes that you like.
For a price point that is extremely entry level
and ready to roll.
For pretty much anyone looking to get into the wheel scene.
Now, we're not gonna get into the designs
because it's just, we're not gonna do it.
We're gonna maintain a neutral opinion
on this wheel history.
But, JNC Wheels makes a bunch of, one-piece wheels
and the make a bunch of designs that are...
(clears throat)
Right.
So, what you can expect from JNC Wheels
is the fact that they do have pretty good customer service,
they do have a lot of wheels out there,
they do have a lot of finishes and styles.
But for the price point, it's just so hard to beat.
You can get a satellite 15 by 6 1/2 for $400.
You can even go up to 19 by 10 1/2,
so you can get some 047's.
You can get pretty much anything that you want.
That's what JNC tries to do.
Now, JNC isn't a brand
that really crazy into motorsports and drifting,
anything like that.
More then they're just involved for people
that are looking to get their hands on
their first set of wheels when they get out of hight school.
For that, JNC takes no aim.
It doesn't really care.
That that's the way they do things
and that's completely cool.
JNC Wheels is who they are and who they want to be because,
the fact of the matter is,
they're doing pretty well for themselves.
A few short years after they were even founded
they're making millions of dollars.
So, in terms of having a good business idea,
I'd say that they got first place.
Unsually with companies, especially the entry level ones,
you expect them to have some sort of parent company
JNC does not have that and that's probably another reason
that you see them stick to what they're good at.
That one piece alloy is an easy, rooted market to get into.
As long as you get yourself established
with the overseas factories,
which is where a lot of JNC wheels are made.
You're gonna actually do fairly well for yourself.
Now, JNC doesn't have any really big plans to get into
the multi-piece wheel game or anything like that.
When you look at other companies
like ESR, 3STM or 1552 and stuff like that.
They do want to get into more heritage,
Japanese, original style wheels in the coming future
because that's what they told me
ane we're telling you because that's what they said.
If they choose to do that, that's entirely up to them.
We know how much money it costs to make new molds.
We know how difficult that can be.
If there as successful as they say they are,
they are probably going to need to,
in the next coming years,
because a lot of the wheel companies are evolving.
You've seen a lot of different companies
come out with new designs, new material, new technology.
Pretty much to set the bar
as to what makes their brands special.
If JNC chooses to do that,
so that they can hit the market in their own way,
it's gonna be up to them.
In terms of design and styling and all hat sort of stuff.
I'm not going to get into it
because I haven't had enough coffee or Redbull
and I haven't been talking fast enough
to express my thing with it.
We're not gonna do that, just,
I feel like Jasper.
We're not gonna do that.
And that's fine.
You guys can have your own opinion's on wheel design.
You can have your own opinion on the price
and things like that, it's entirely up to you.
I'm sure you're already in the comments section writing
what we should know about the brand
even though we know the brand because we sell them to you
if that's what you want.
If you don't want that, we can help you with other stuff.
We're just ere to give you information, okay?
Don't kill the messenger.
JNC is a brand that just
doesn't stick it's head out too often.
They're really not in the limelight all that often.
Especially, when you talk about brands that are entry level,
or rep wheels, or fake wheels, or counterfeit wheels,
or not counterfeit wheels.
That whole conversation, a lot of times,
seems to almost forget about other entry level wheels.
JNC Wheels is one of those brands where, in terms of,
when you see people arguing or talking about it,
you never see the brand brought up.
That's because JNC, I don't think,
really wants to have any limelight.
They're just doing what they know that they're good at.
And what they're good at is
just making alloy wheels in a bunch of different sizes
and colors and bolt patterns
and things like that at an entry level price.
At the end of the day,
it's really not anything that you have to be upset about.
They're just doing what they're supposed to do.
