Hey guys, what's going on?
Last year we did a video where we got to talk
about the top multi-piece wheels of 2018.
And it was a pretty good time, except for the fact that
I feel like they weren't totally, exactly
what I thought it was going to become.
I just didn't think, we look back now and they're like
there's some cool wheels in there,
but I don't think many of 'em hit
as much as I thought they were gonna hit.
And it left me in a dilemma, and I thought to myself,
I'm going to redeem myself with another video
that I will probably regret in a year.
Because we're gonna talk about it again, except for 2019.
And so I'm gonna bring it up with wheel number one first,
which you guys are actually gonna be surprised to hear.
First multi-piece wheel that we think
is gonna make head ways in 2019 is the XXR 557.
- Pysche!
That's the wrong number.
(crowd cheers)

And let's actually get into the top five multi-piece wheels
that I think are gonna drum up a whole bunch
of storms and waves like Gelsis' hair, and just a tension,
and the Instagram I think is gonna like this list.
So let's just get right into it.
Number five, is a wheel that you probably
haven't heard much of yet.
And that's the Brixton Forged PF5.
Now that's the target series model,
it's a multi-spoke B-Spoke style design.
So Brixton Forged specializes in a very specific market.
Their biggest thing is having unlimited milling times.
They're gonna have these very custom colors
and at the same time, they're a very unique design.
So if you guys didn't know,
it's very hard to create original wheels now
because there's so many different designs out there.
When you really break it down,
you're probably gonna see four or five brands
make very similar wheels.
And Brixton Forged is very, very specific
in the way that they build and design their wheels
so that it just doesn't really look like a whole lot else.
And the series is one of probably my favorite series
coming from the Brixton Forged lineup.
Now, if you guys don't care about your wallets
or your tax returns.
Or maybe you've put zero as your exception
on all of your tax returns and you made 200,000 last year.
You'd probably be able to pick up a set
with your tax returns
'cuz a set for these are gonna run you right around
$8,000-$12,000.
Now, if you want the Dymag carbon fiber barrel
that can come with it as an optional add-on,
you're probably looking at spending right around $16,000.
I don't know why.
I mean we could talk about the APP forgings.
We could talk about the fact that
Lamborghini uses the same forgings in their wheels.
We could talk about all of that, but we already did,
'cuz we visited them at SEMA last year
and it was actually a pretty good time.
The coolest thing that I like about this wheel
is the fact that it's a double five spoke,
but it has a very unique twist to it.
So what makes it so unique is that it's a
delayed directional-style wheel.
And if you look at it close up,
you'll actually be able to see it.
But it's a very minimalistic design,
and the point of the design is really to help capture
the authenticity of an aggressive-style wheel
without drawing too much attention to itself
and keeping the whole formula of what makes a Lamborghini
look so sharp and not overly aggressive,
in queue with the wheels that you put on it.
So a lot of times people will go overly aggressive
with wheels on a soft car,
or they'll go way too soft on an aggressive car,
and I think the PF5 nails it when it comes down to
being installed on certain aggressive, high-end,
luxury, automotive, supercars.
Which is like .002 of the percentage of the people
that watch these videos.
I think there's like maybe two, and if you are,
Hello!
If you'd like to pick up some--
We're not even gonna do a sales plug on those wheels.
If you guys follow the wheel industry,
that you know that there's probably a brand
out there on Instagram that's been very active,
and everybody will share their wheels on Instagram.
They'll share 'em on their stories,
they share 'em on their feed.
Yet when it really comes down to it, you've never
actually seen the wheel in person unless you were at SEMA
or at Slammed enough, which I think they were at.
Regarding the week, and after SEMA,
they'll probably correct us in the comments.
But number four goes out to SevenK,
with the Nika-S style wheel.
Now, again if you're on Instagram
you probably know the wheel,
and if you're not on Instagram you probably don't.
It's a flower design wheel that looks
extremely (beeping) cool.
It's just so neat, in terms of what it is.
Now, SevenK is a new brand as well, and a lot of the brands
that we talk about today are gonna be relatively
a little bit newer.
But what makes the wheels so cool is the fact that
it's definitely meant to capture a very low, offset,
aggressive, big-lipped style, show wheel.
And there's really no function to the design to it,
other than the fact that it looks just cool as shit.
The flower design actually is a floating spoke style,
and you'll be able to see it, we'll show pictures.
And it really looks crazy cool on certain cars.
Now the problem is that because it's such
an interesting design,
it's not gonna sit well on every single car.
We usually would probably see a Nika-S go on something like
a wide-body FRS or a BRZ,
or something that's really trying to capture a unique style.
There's not a whole lotta Nika-S's out there,
and actually SevenK is releasing new wheels continuously
since SEMA 2018 and I feel like you're gonna see them
get talked about more and more often as we go into 2019.
Because they're just a cool group of guys
that like making cool wheels,
and really that's all that they care about,
which is good 'cuz they're honest about themselves.
They're not trying to be anything more than just a
cool-ass wheel brand, and I dig that.
Number three is the wheel that is just like--
the wheel.
So when you talk about multi-piece wheels,
when you talk about what should you buy,
and this is your first finger, toe, thing into the pool.
What you're gonna end up buying is
what everybody tells you to buy, and there's a reason
that they tell you to buy it because it's a good wheel.
We're talking about the WORK Meister S1 3P.
The WORK Meister is a wheel that just works.
It is the Red Lobster of wheels.
You are always gonna go, and you're always gonna
just be happy with what you're getting.
I don't think I've ever been to a Red Lobster and I've been
like, "God, those cheddar biscuits were terrible."
Like, the coffee is bad, or the lobster is bad.
I've never had lobster at Red Lobster, okay.
I get the Spicy Fettuccini Alfredo because I--
(crosstalk)
- It's $16, I took my wife... - Bill under $50.
(record scratches)
Anyway!
The WORK Meister three-piece is just the wheel.
It's the traditional wheel that holds the standard
of getting a great multi-piece style wheel.
It's a bent five spoke design wheel that you can
pretty much put on absolutely anything.
You will see that wheel on aggressive cars,
you'll see that wheel on curvy cars like Porsches.
You'll see it on 370-Z's, FRS's, BRZ's.
Pretty much everything that you could possibly imagine
the WORK Meister works extremely well on.
You'll see it on Evos, you'll see it on
everything you could possibly imagine
because it's just a good wheel.
It's a great wheel for a great price
when you're actually looking at multi-piece wheels.
One of the crazy things about the WORK Meister design,
is that you can actually get it in different sizings
lower than your typical forging sizes.
You can get that, I believe, the two-piece forge
can come now in to even a 15 or 16 inch,
which is great for retro-style wheels.
And when you really break it down, when you go in to the
older wheel market and a lot of old Japanese cars,
you need the smaller forgings
which not a lot of companies do right now.
So the WORK Meister takes place number three
because we all know that wheel, it's the traditional wheel.
It's like going to Grandma's house because you
know that you're gonna get a good meal,
you're gonna get some nice cookies,
you're probably gonna get slipped a 20,
and then you're gonna be on your merry way
because that's just how Grandma does it.
I'm gonna be that Grandma.
Except, I mean... (sniffs)
I don't think we'll ever make a list
about multi-piece wheels that doesn't have
some sort of of Rotiform in it.
And when you really go down into the weeds about Rotiform,
one of the greatest things about them is the fact
that they have designs for every platform,
for every year, make, and model,
for every type of car you could possibly imagine,
in every conceivable finish.
You go on their website and you go to the gallery,
and it's like looking, it's like a kid at a candy shop.
There is something for everyone
in that whole realm of wheels.
And for us, may not be probably the most popular
wheel design, but definitely one that we think
is gonna start taking off, is the Rotiform CVT.
It's ten spoke shark fin style, directional wheel
that looks absolutely killer,
especially in the darker color palettes.
One of the greatest things about the Rotiform CVT
is that it puts a new twist on the heavy,
blocky style wheel design.
So if you guys didn't know the CCV
and other very blocky style wheels.
Well they look good but, at the same time
there's not a whole lotta depth to them.
And as a result, you can actually get a very
flat plane wheel, when you thought it was gonna be
a very aggressive wheel on your car
because you went with a bright color.
The CVT answers that by putting a lot more design
and directional cues into the multi-spoke style design
to help give it more features, so that you can actually
see it when it's rolling down the road
or when it's staying stationary.
And it's probably, actually a very cool wheel
that I think would look good on just about anything.
If you're more of a fan of the blocky style,
the CVT takes the number two spot for us.
Number one is not a three piece forged wheel,
number one is something that we just decided to talk about
because it's a YouTube page,
we can kinda do whatever we want.
I mean, we can't because lawyers get mad,
and then we have to sell you wheels, tires, suspension
at Fitment Industries dot com.
If we say something mean, or we say something wrong,
then we gotta go through the whole thing,
and I just don't wanna do it.
So anyway, we're doing this one
because we think it's very interesting.
You can let us know in the comments section below
if you agree.
But number one goes out to the two piece, forged design
from Kansei, the KNP.
Now Kansei is a newer brand, and it's something
that doesn't have a whole lot of thrust behind it.
It's four designs that they've released.
They're going into more designs.
But what makes the KNP so cool,
is not necessarily the wheel design itself,
but the history behind Kansei
and their plans go into the market.
So if you guys didn't know, we did a big video on Kansei
way back SEMA 2018 which was a whole four months ago,
which actually feels like three years.
And they talked to us about the KNP,
and the history that they're trying to get into
which was more of a JDM-style, true, authentic market
but with a modern twist.
And that actually sounds a lot of the story of Rotiform.
And the KNP is probably the most requested wheel
that we get asked behind us.
Whenever we shoot in front of this wheel wall,
everybody's like, "Hey what's the brown one in the corner?
"The five spoke that looks like Patrick?"
That's the KNP,
but its the one piece cast variant that they have.
But they are coming out with two piece forged.
Now one thing that makes it interesting is the fact that
two piece forged seems to be kind of making more of a run.
In the past it was all about three spoke multi-piece design
versus a two piece forged design.
And what we're seeing is there are a couple people
going back to the two piece forged
because they like it a little bit more.
And when you look at the KNP,
it looks absolutely sex-cellent in a two piece forged design
because of just the way that it is.
The Kansei KNP is one of those designs that we really like
because it's very simple in nature.
And you can say that it looks like other wheels,
which is true.
But at the end of the day, which I'm going to say
even though everybody's gonna get mad,
it has it's own styling cues to make it
just a little bit different.
And the roots of the wheel, and the roots of the company
are what make it so interesting.
The fact that they went to SEMA with a 240sx in their booth
verus everybody else showing up with Lamborghinis
and McLarens, to me, is just absolutely (beeping) awesome.
I mean, these guys are going out
and test-fitting their wheels in parking lots,
and going to drift shows, and going to auto cross things
to make sure that their wheels run.
They're just involved in the community
and to what it kinda reminds us of,
is when your really good friend
that happens to be a really good mechanic,
that always takes care of you and makes sure
that your car's running right, and they're always up to
tow your car because it breaks every single week.
That friend that you've always had,
that's just is always there for your car.
In the wheel community it seems like Kansei is
becoming that brand because they have such a history
of just kind of being involved.
So it's super cool to see the hustle
that they're going in to,
and the KNP is just a sexy wheel on top of it
which puts it in the number one spot
of some of the top wheels,
especially that go in to the multi-piece category,
that we think are gonna take the cake for this year.
So let us know in the comments section below
as to what you think are gonna be the top five wheels
for 2019, multi-piece or not.
I wish you the best of luck.

If you got that tax return, you know where to spend it.
You know, what up, chicken butt?
Because then what I can do is that
if you guys spend your tax returns,
I don't have to get the ramen anymore,
I can go and get the Chef Boyardee which is delicious.
It's like 72% salt for daily intake,
and that's all I need is salt.
I don't even need calories, or anything fat.
Gimme the Chef Boyardee and a little bit of
chicken noodle soup and I'm a happy man.
But, I will see you later.
Peace.
