- [Cameraman] And three, two, one, action.
- You are so close right now. What are...
(laughs)
- Oh my god.
Hey guys, what's going on?
It's Alex from Fitment Industries.
We are at SEMA 2018.
Bill is playing with his chair.
(Bill laughs)
We are at the Cosmis Racing booth.
Bill, you wanna tell me a little bit about yourself?
- Yeah, I'm the Brand Director for Cosmis Racing Wheels.
- Do they know that?
- I just told 'em.
- No, I meant does Cosmis know that?
- I don't know, do they?
(Alex laughs)
- So we are here at the Cosmis Racing booth
to talk about their wheels
and to see what they're up to for 2018 going into 2019
and I have Bill with me
because everyone on the internet trusts people with beards
more than they trust people without beards,
so I brought one.
Bill, what are you doing for Cosmis Racing for 2018
and 2019?
- 2018 we're almost done with...
- Yeah, how was it?
- It was great!
- Was it?
- Yeah it was pretty good for us.
Last year was our first year at SEMA.
(stammers)
God I can't talk.
- [Cameraman] You got it.
(Bill laughs)
- You got it.
I believe in you.
- It went really well for our first year at SEMA.
This is our second year.
So we've had a little bit of experience.
- Okay.
- So it's been pretty good.
- So, last year was your first year at SEMA,
so I have to ask, is SEMA worth it?
We made a video about if SEMA was worth going to.
- It is.
It's a lot of work.
- [Alex] I mean that makes sense.
The booth looks good.
The wheels look good.
So in 2018 you guys had the XT-206R,
the 005R,
the R1Pro, the R1.
Are you coming out with new wheels?
Are you coming out with new colors or sizes
or what's the game plan?
- We will have a couple of new models.
It probably won't be until end of the summer, early...
I don't want to say winter, but fall.
We're gonna to be moving into
more of the 20 inch models as well.
Mustangs, Cameros, stuff like that.
- Okay, so the staggered stuff.
Your 20s, though, for the Mustang,
that's something that you guys just got in.
- Yes.
- That's FlowForm then, right?
- Correct.
We're gonna be, essentially all of our wheels
eventually will become FlowForm.
- Okay, sure.
- We're slowly moving on to that process.
- That's pretty cool.
So then, FlowForm for the Mustang,
the 20 inch staggered setup, right?
Any other cars you're trying to get into,
Subarus or S2000s or anything like that?
- I'd like to really push into the Audi market, 50112.
Cause every style of that car you pretty much have a VIP.
No really has a racing style for that.
- That's true.
I guess I didn't really think about that.
Do people actually, do they track Audis?
Are you gonna find out?
Are you gonna let us know?
- I don't know what to do...
- With your hands?
I would just...
- [Bill] Just cover my face, my beard?
- [Alex] Hey guys, what's going on?
It's Bill from Costmis Racing.
- [Bill] Hey guys, Alex from Fitment Inc.
(Alex laughs)
- [Alex] Industries, we talked about that.
(Bill curses)
- Alright, we'll do that again.
- No, you don't have to because they know.
We already told them the story.
So no, Cosmis Racing has a whole lot of stuff going on.
If you guys didn't know,
Cosmis Wheels was one of those brands that we kinda go into
and it's been really good.
The reception for Cosmis Racing has been really good.
So, I know that you guys went from zero to a hundred,
in terms of our eyes, pretty quick.
You started jumping on social media.
We saw people start talking about you on forums.
People were getting mad, some people loved you.
Most people loved you, a couple people that were trying
to give you a hard time because you're a new brand,
but it's been going well.
And I think a lot of people, Subaru guys,
a lot of WRX guys run Cosmis now.
It used to be nothing.
There weren't a whole lot of wheel options for them,
so that's pretty cool.
And then, besides sizing, nothing too crazy
with the Cosmis brand?
You guys are just gonna hang out and grow some beards?
- Grow some beards. No, we gonna be coming out
with some stuff.
I can't really release quite yet.
- Yeah, teaser trailer they're doing doing stuff.
They're coming out with new wheels.
They're coming out with new stuff.
But one of the coolest things that you guys
have to remember with a wheel brand
is that they'll always offer a million different styles
and these really fundamental sizes,
so really basic 8 and half 35 sizes
and what ends up happening is that if you have a car
with a bigger brake clearance issue, if you have a car
that has some sort of upgraded brakes,
or you have no idea what's going on
and your car has these massive rotors or something like that
a lot of companies will just discontinue the wheel entirely
or they just won't sell to that specific market.
So Cosmis...
We've talked before this,
but Bill is just a little bit nervous,
so it's completely fine.
Cosmis is adjusting a lot of their offsets too
so that they can start clearing vehicles
to appropriate sizes like the SCI,
like certain models that you guys have.
- The higher offset stuff.
- The higher offset stuff, which is super cool because
there are a lot of companies that won't do that at all
and then we end up getting the emails where it's like,
"Hey, I need to buy a 5mm spacer because
my wheel runs into my big brake."
Yeah, it's cool.
I feel like you guys are doing good.
- We're doing our best to listen to you guys.
- Yeah.
(Alex laughs) - What do you want me to say?!
- I just love the way you say it!
It's not what you say, it's how you say it.
No, it's cool to see that you guys are doing really well.
Is there anything that you would like to tell
our hundred-thousand viewers on what on what they're up to?
Anything from Cosmis?
- Like and subscribe and smash that like button!
- You're the second person to do that and I hate both...
(Bill laughs)
I hate it so much.
- I do too! - Don't smash the like button.
- Yeah, don't do that.
- Don't do that.
- Unsubscribe. - But I'm Alex from Fitment...
(Bill laughs)
