PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST...

 

 

Was saving these for my project truck, but I am going to put them on the market now since some things are changing with my build plans.

 

I am the original owner of these wheels. I had them custom made by Intro about 5yrs ago. They were 22" Intro XLR Series Rally wheels that I had made in a 3pc version. The wheels were originally ordered (as pictured below) with chrome lips and anthracite centers. Front wheels were 22x8.5, rears were 22x10. They were setup to sit a hair inside the fenders, they will tuck.

 

Anyhow, I sold them to another member about 2 years ago, and then bought them back from that member about a year ago since he sold his truck. The chrome lips were in bad shape with some bubbling and flaking, so i had them dipped and stripped at Gulf Plating in Oakland Park, FL.

 

The wheels are getting completely redone as we speak. The centers are now matte black with gloss black accents, matte black center caps, gloss black rivets, and gloss black inner/outer lips. The outer lips will have a thing red ring going around the outside of the wheel and the INTRO logo will be red as well on the center cap. I spent ALOT of money to get these things completely rebuilt for the new truck.

 

Brand new I paid $1100/wheel for these. I have alot into them, they are basically completely rebuilt and brand new. No tires have been mounted on them since being rebuilt. I will post up the rebuilt pictures as soon as they are done and reassembled.

 

Looking for $2500 OBO, no trades, wheels only. These are 100% custom one-off wheels, no one has anything like them. If the buyer wants, I can add/delete certain options and colors before they get sprayed. I should have them getting resprayed in the next 2 weeks. Just waiting to get to the painter.

 

Below is what they looked like on my truck PRIOR to being rebuilt:

    • Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?
    • I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions. 
    • I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that. 
    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
