- Oh. I didn't see you there with my
Cosmis Racing XT-005R wheel,
that we're definitely not oh god gonna be talking about
in this episode of What is Cosmis up to in 2019.
That's definitely not what we're talking about.
That definitely wasn't a cheesy way
to introduce me walking in to this video thing
that we're gonna call What's going on with Cosmis Racing.
What's going on guys?
We're talking about Cosmis Racing because you
guys have asked us to and we're gonna tell you
what they're doing in 2019 and
some stuff that you probably didn't know that they're doing
which, by the way, if you stay through the end of the video,
you're gonna find out that Cosmis and Fitment Industries
is actually giving away a set of wheels.
So, if you're interested,
stay through the end of the video.
If not, just check the description and
then completely ignore anything else that I say
'cause apparently you guys like to do that anyway,
which is completely fine too.
First things first, Cosmis Racing is introducing
custom powder coating for all of their wheels.
So it's actually pretty cool.
It's something that a lot of other
wheel manufacturers are doing,
but it allows people to get customized with one-piece
wheels which is something that's pretty rare.
But even if you look behind me and
I'm just kinda gonna do the limbo,
you can kinda see that Cosmis sticks out naturally
when you compare it to the multi piece wheels and
a lot of other colored wheels because
they do a lot of cool color designs and
color schemes already but the powder coating is
gonna allow them to get more creative than
just their three tone color ways that
they're doing right now like the XT005R behind me.
Cosmis has always been one of those wheel companies
that has had a lot of attention to detail with colors and
I think that's why a lot of people like them,
just to begin with, to be honest.
But the second reason that you might notice that
Cosmis is getting more popular is because of how
just decent they've been,
especially in the past couple of years.
One of the biggest things Cosmis does to stay relevant
is that they're a very grass root style business.
They're very much a part of trying
to be a part of the culture
which, if you didn't know,
Cosmis Racing sponsors T-Pain's Drift Team
like how much more of an awkward flex could you
possibly want as a wheel company to say like, you're Bill,
if you guys watched the interview with Bill,
you'd be like: Yeah. Yeah no, no, no, no, no. T-Pain!
Yeah, yeah.
The actual yeah, the rapper.
Yeah, R Wheels.
Yeah.
Cosmis.
So, Cosmis is doing one of those things where
they're getting really involved with a lot of people
because they enjoy it.
I mean when you talk to Cosmis and
a lot of their staff,
they're just a bunch of guys that really enjoy
the grass root style of doing business and
ever since we've kinda done stuff with them.
This was one of the first times that we've wanted
to do a wheel giveaway and
Cosmis was the first people that we really thought about
which if you go back and listen to the
sentence that I just said,
it totally does not make any sense in terms of
grammar and punctuation but
we're just gonna keep going because
I've chosen just to continue because I mean why not.
It's not English class anymore Mrs. Richardson.
You can sue me.
Dumb (bleep).
I would have laughed if you ran into that wall.
You done?
- [Man] One more.
- You good?
- [Man] Yeah. No, we're good.
- And that kinda goes into something else
that Cosmis is doing.
So they've been involved with a lot of grass root stuff,
they're going in with the new powder coating but
they're also going into new designs so
Cosmis always kinda introduces these really weird,
awkward but ultimately very aggressively offseted
wheels and designs that a lot of people seem to love and
it pretty much goes perfectly in tune with a lot of the
drifting culture because having a cast wheel that has
aggressive offset is perfect for a lot of
certain body cells that are pretty
well predominant in drifting.
I mean it's something that you see all the time and
to see them kinda continue to take that reign and
kinda keep moving with it is very very cool because
it allows them to offer a wheel that looks nice,
that performs well,
that isn't too heavy but is also at the end of the day
not a million dollars because
nobody wants to drift on million dollar wheels and
then trash them every third weekend because then
there's absolutely no point.
And you might be asking like why does Cosmis
do the things that they do and you might
also be asking is why did Cosmis ever
try to introduce a four by one hundred or
a mostheme at a bolt pattern?
Because I asked them to.
I told them.
I said "Josh, listen to your man here.
I am telling you that when it comes down to Cosmis Racing,
if you're a sport compact wheel company,
you have to offer sport compact wheels to the
sport compact wheel pedigree that the mostheme oughta host"
and he's like "Yo, are you sure?"
and I said "Yes. Not only that but I think you need to
just you know introduce a staggered setup
for the mustang and he goes "Really?".
Actually that second one didn't happen.
They did the second one but
I definitely did the first one.
It also comes down to Cosmis like actually listens
to people when they're telling them about
a certain size or offset or finish or width or anything
that you want to see kinda get introduced because
Cosmis is again going back to what people actually want and
I said I wanted it and
then they did it,
which was actually pretty exciting and
I think it's worked out and
if it hasn't well sorry Cosmis but at the same time
I'm you know never wrong ever and
you might be wondering at the end of this video
so what does this all mean.
Well first off, we wanted to let you that we're partnering
with Cosmis for a wheel giveaway.
