- Hi, my name is Hailey Hudson.
We are at the Hostile Wheel booth at SEMA 2019,
and you are watching Custom Offset TV.
(hip hop music)
- [Man] Three, two, one, action.
- Hey, what's going on, guys?
Fuller here from Custom Offsets,
Custom Offsets TV on the YouTube with.
- Junior.
- And we are in the Hostile Wheel booth, SEMA 2019
to go over what's new for Hostile this year.
So we're gonna kick things off jumping
right into the cast line.
So on top here, this one you may think looks kinda familiar
because it's very similar to the Alpha,
but this is actually called the Omega.
It's kind of very, very similar as far the style goes,
but it's gonna be a flat face wheel
rather than having all that concavity that the Alpha has.
- And then the biggest thing with this wheel
as far as sizing goes is they're doing
a lot of the larger diameter, smaller width sizing.
So this goes up to a 26 by 12.
Kind of get that big, flashy wheel look
without going super wide on it,
and that kind of seems to be a trend
that I think we're gonna be seeing a lot here at SEMA
is kind of the big wheels but not going super aggressive
because people don't want three quarters
of their tire sticking out so--
- It's kind of going into that luxury look.
- Yes, exactly.
- You know, where they're really,
really large wheel diameters but not quite as wide.
So another thing, too, to point out,
all of them have the new cap,
but we'll just start kind of explaining it.
It's a very small profile.
Hostile always has done a really good job with the cap.
And then this time they got rid of the sticker,
and it's actually, like, I guess you can call it,
like, reverse embossed so the logo stands out
from the cap which is nice.
- And of course they've got no rivets around the lip.
They've got the exposed lugs,
everything that everyone's always loved about Hostile.
They're continuing to do it, and they're also improving
on the things that they knew that they could improve on.
So, jump to the next one?
- Yeah, so the next one's the Vulcan
and this is, probably, actually my favorite wheel.
I really like the all black finish the best.
- So this bad boy, if you guys don't know right now,
the Sprocket is Hostile's
probably number one seller out there.
Rumor has it that this is going
to replace the Sprocket this year.
So, kind of a big deal.
This one's got a lot going on with it,
you can kinda see that all of the,
they have the blade cut which is, I think,
just the finish they call it,
but it also kinda kind of seems to be
the way that the spokes kinda go.
It's just got that Hostile look on the spokes,
so they kinda taper to a point and everything like that,
which makes 'em look thinner.
- It's really, really clean milling too,
like you don't see a lot of the mill marks.
That's where the blade cut name kind of comes from.
It's very, very smooth, and it's also tapered in,
which like you said, makes the spokes look thinner,
'cause as you get to the edge, it actually goes down
to probably just like three or four millimeters
as far as the flat surface goes.
Black painted milling, and then the exposed milling as well.
- Not to mention it's also concave
as well then in these sizes.
So, the beauty of SEMA is a lot of these
will come to the market and vendors will check these out,
exhibitors will check these out and give their input,
and they'll be like, "I need this wheel in a 26 by 16,
"I need this wheel in 24 16,"
and the companies will listen to that
and they'll take that into consideration
when they actually produce and make these wheels then.
So a lot of these sizes that you're seeing
could be or could not be,
and even the models could or could not be
a final product that you'll see in three months available.
- Which we'll kinda dive into
when we hop into the forged stuff too.
- Yeah.
- But we also wanna talk about,
probably the biggest thing happening
for Hostile in SEMA 2019.
- Was that a pun, because it's a 26 by 16?
- Yes, yes, we can play it off.
- Yeah, this is the Dagger.
And this is probably my favorite wheel
that Hostile has this year, personally.
- This one, not this one.
- This one, yes, this one and then the chrome one.
- This one.
- It is a true directional wheel.
It has no ridge between the spokes,
so the lip looks like it goes back forever.
They've been doing that for awhile now.
You can see that back on a lot of
their older styles as well,
that they kind of have the endless lip going on there.
The sizes go all the way up to 26 by 16,
which is something new that Hostile's doing, so.
As of a couple months ago,
26 16 is a new size they're introducing,
which is huge.
- Yeah, literally, it's huge.
- Yeah.
- It's huge as far as like it's very important,
and it's huge as actual size,
and I think we kinda breezed over it too,
but you heard us say that these are true directional,
which means you're actually getting a left and a right
so that you can have true directional cast wheels.
There are more and more companies
kinda branching off into that.
Last year there was basically none,
and now this year there's a handful of them.
Hostile is one of those.
They only have one style like that, for now,
with plans to release more,
probably mid 2020 if we're lucky.
They wanna do a mid season release,
so that'll be kinda cool to see from them.
Right next to it is the Jigsaw,
which you've seen before.
Three years ago this was a forged wheel,
and now they're making it in a cast wheel.
I think they had a cast last year too, I saw.
- Yeah, which is a perfect example of what SEMA is.
You know, came out as a forged wheel,
did well as a forged wheel,
and they brought it into their cast market as well.
So, that one is here,
and this actually has their old center cap as well,
so we'll get you some comparisons
between the new and the old.
It just, it looks a lot cleaner with the new one.
I'm very much a fan of what they're doing
this year for 2019 into 2020.
- So then let's jump to the forged wheels,
and we'll slide down next to these.
So, we'll start first with the Tomahawk,
because the other one's way too exciting.
We gotta hold off for that.
As typical fashion you see on a forged wheel,
it's a very flat face.
There's a lot of cool details going on here
with all the mill work.
And then an important thing too
is Hostile is giving billet caps with every forged wheel.
So you don't have to pay extra for that.
There's some companies that charge like 600
to a thousand dollars to get billet aluminum caps.
The Hostile forged line comes with the billet caps.
- And they have a new logo on 'em too now.
- Yep, new logo on those as well, and they're a two piece,
so if you are the guy that still runs
manual locking hubs, you can do that.
Or if you wanna like, for some reason paint them,
or something, you can.
There's really not a lot to talk about with this one.
- No.
And then sizes on these are pretty much gonna range
from 20 by 12 all the way up to 26 16.
Basically the only thing you want, they can make.
That's how forged wheels are.
They can basically CNC anything you want.
- Yes.
- Let's jump to this one, 'cause this is.
- This one's exciting.
- My favorite forged one.
This one's super cool.
So this one doesn't have a name.
They're debating on calling it the Savage as of right now,
but honestly by the time this video is edited
and goes up, it could have a different name
or could not even be made at all.
So this one came to SEMA this year
as an introductory to kinda see
and gage the market and see if people like it
to then go into production.
They're talking about calling it a Savage,
but that's not necessary the name they're gonna go with,
but you need a name to kinda talk about it with.
So that's where they're at on this one right now.
- This is probably the only wheel.
Like this is the only Hostile forged Savage
in existence right now, and that's like what SEMA is,
is testing the market to see what people think.
So I know I really like it
because of how thin those spokes are.
- [Junior] It's insane.
- Especially in this size too,
it's what I would say a little bit more busy
as far as design goes, but in these big sizes
you get the huge windows, which just look really nice.
- Yeah, I agree, hundred percent.
And the beauty of it being a forged wheel
is that you can go super thin with the spokes
and not compromise the structural integrity of the wheel.
So you'll see that these are thin.
You'll see we're in love with them,
but we're also not afraid to run them,
because you know this wheel is a lot stronger.
There's more like,
there's a lot of science that goes into it.
There's a lot of density, pressure stuff.
More structure, thinner spokes, it's awesome.
- We won't bore you with that,
but we do wanna take a look at something else
that's new for Hostile this year, but it's way over there.
So we gotta go this way.
So, obviously as you can see, Hostile UTV,
they are branching out into the UTV market,
which is pretty exciting,
and we're not gonna spend a whole lot of time on it,
but did wanna just show you the sizes and styles.
So, 15 by 7, 15 by 8, and 15 by 10,
which is really, really wide.
- You can see that it's a lot of the same styles
that they have in their cast lineup right now,
and you've got your Venom,
some of the other styles and stuff that they have.
I love the finishes they have.
This gray looks awesome.
Bronze is always a super hot one,
I feel like, in the UTV world as well,
and then your black, but.
- I guess one thing though too
is these are all simulated bead lock wheels,
they're not actually true bead locks.
So they do have plans to potentially release one
if the market asks for it.
So, if you have UTVs that you put in the back of your trucks
and you wanna get your Hostile UTV wheels to match
your regular Hostile wheels,
I think that'd be pretty freaking slick.
- And if you guys have any suggestions or comments
make sure to drop 'em below,
because I mean, they're listening, we're listening,
it's all just for you guys.
So, that's their cast lineup, forge lineup,
and UTV lineup for you guys.
From the Hostile booth here at SEMA 2019.
- When it comes to Hostile too,
they usually get us data right away,
so we'll try to toss some links in the description
if you wanna check out the Hostile wheels
that we currently have, plus all of these,
they'll be on the website at customoffsets.com.
We'll put the links in the description
so you can find all that.
