- Hey guys, Shawn with Custom Offsets,
if you don't know what the heck's going on, you should.
It's gonna be Cali Off-road Week all week.
If you have not come out and gotten your
Cali Off-road Custom Offsets shirt,
you don't have a chance to win a set of these wheels.
We're only selling 500 of these,
like half of them are gone.
By the time you see this, more than half of them are gone.
Somebody's gonna win a free set of wheels
at the end of this month.
And all this week we're gonna come at you
every single day, bringing you a full review
of each of these new wheels,
and some of these old favorites,
and Banger's current favorite.
Peace.

Hey you guys, kickin' off Cali Off-road Week,
I've got the Cali Off-road Switchback for you.
We brought you this one at seam on the 24 by 12,
but we wanted to bring it back to you
and show you some of the more standard sizes,
'cause I know some of you guys aren't looking
for those 24s.
So this is gonna be the 20 by 12 wide,
and it's their negative 51 offset.
Now what that's gonna do, don't panic.
I'm gonna show you the flip side of them
and then I'm gonna explain it.
So the lip size is about five inches,
little over five inches, probably five and an eighth.
So a lot of times 12 by negative 51,
especially you're looking for at least a six inch lip.
The reason for that is they did kind of a
neat drop back back here where your open lugs are,
so that's gonna eat up some of the lip,
because that brought the face of this wheel forward
a little bit when they did that.
The other thing is it appears, and I don't know
if it's an optical illusion or not,
but it appears that the face of that wheel
does come out just a little bit
kind of giving you a little bit of that concave feel,
at least because they drop back the concave
of the center around here.
What I like about that, what we were all just looking at
and talking about, is when you throw a spiked chrome lug
inside of that, it leaves enough of the spiked lug out
to see it, but it also creates that dish in there
where it's gonna reflect, Bruno was kinda pointing out
that it's gonna reflect those chrome spikes
all the way around inside of that dish that they created.
So it takes out some of the lip,
but it looks stellar with the spiked lug nuts.
And then you'll see, as far as the milling,
that's pretty extensive.
So you'll see all this really nice milling
that actually they left the milling marks
all the way around that give it a lot of,
you know, designer definition.
And then they also milled all the way inside
each of these spokes, and then also created
kind of a tray on here, so it's got a lot of milling
to it that's probably the biggest thing
that sticks out on the switchback.
As far as sizes, oop, one of the other things
you'll notice is no rivets.
So for the guy looking for that, or gal,
looking for that more clean look, this one's gonna have
that extra milling and then no rivets,
so it's gonna have more of that luxury feel.
I see this on, you know, the SUVs
and kind of more the luxury builds
as far as that clean, bouncing off the chrome look,
and that's where the chrome spikes I think
also makes sense.
So size is gonna be 20x9, 20x10,
which is a negative 25 offset,
and then 20x12, negative 51 offset,
22x12, and up to a 24x12.
So the 24, if you go check our videos
and look for the Switchback on YouTube,
you'll see that we did the Cali Off-road Switchback
already in the 24x12, and that one's gonna be
in the polish finish, and what you'll see
about the polish finish is all the polish wheels
are polished, and then they've got a clear coat to 'em,
so you're not gonna have to do the maintenance
of a true polished wheel.
It's gonna have more of the brushed polish
look to it, but it's then gonna have the clear coat
and require less maintenance,
so that's a cool new technology
that I think you're gonna see a lot of the wheel companies
coming out with, and Cali Off-road did that
on the Switchback.
So one of the things to notice, because it is a cast wheel,
even though it's got the directional cut to it,
they're all gonna go one direction,
so you are gonna have on one side of the vehicle
where they're gonna swoop, and then the other side
of the vehicle where they're gonna dig,
because being a cast wheel it's not gonna be
a true directional.
That is pretty much it, except for price.
Price point, they're gonna sit right there competitive,
the 20x12, you know, just under, I think it was $1400
once you start packaging it up,
you'll save a few hundred dollars,
so I would call it right in the moderate range
for the cast wheels as far as
where Cali Off-roads is competing.
Another thing to note before I forget,
the center caps, if you guys remember,
they used to have the iron cross,
and a lot of guys were just kind of, you know,
that's too much or that's too headed down one path,
you'll see that they now come with
the Cali Off-road centers as well.
I believe for now anyways, they're including both.
If not, it will come with the new Cali Off-road only logo,
but redesigned logo, redesigned image,
and that's gonna be your Switchback.
Peace.
