They are just confirming the finer details with the factory before getting the go ahead, so I should be in a position to send out payment information very soon.

I've been chasing rarerims, who in turn have been chasing the factory to confirm exact costs. I've been told the response times from the factory have been very slow, despite rarerims contacting them daily.

 

They are still fully committed to getting the group buy set up and have apologized for the delay, but until the factory confirm the exact costs for changing and resetting the jigs they can't get it signed off and press the button to proceed.

 

It's all very frustrating, but hopefully they'll get the response they need soon so we can press on with it.

 

I'll email again today for an update but expect to receive the same response unfortunately.

I have finally had an update...which is not really the news we wanted to hear to be honest.

 

The Titan is not currently produced in 17x8.5, so would require significant investment in a mould to produce. Due to the size of the order this is not financially viable.

They can do the Titan in 17x9, so specs would be the same as the ATS DTC.

 

An alternative wheel has been offered in the 17x8.5 called the Fighter. I personally think it looks crap so am not interested in this.

 

The Grid is available in 17x8.5 but again, I personally am not interested in this and would prefer to proceed with the Titan.

 

Apologies for the delay and sh*t news after everyone waiting patiently for so long. To be honest I'm pretty disappointed with the whole thing.

 

So, can I have confirmation whether people are happy to proceed with the Titan in the same sizes/specs as the ATS DTC.

Yup. I was already unsure about the size of the fronts and even the 8.5" rear was bit of a compromise, so them dicking us about over sizing kind of makes my mind up for me.

 

Still, not like I'm short of sets of wheels and tyres in the garage already. :wacko:

 

Thanks for trying though. thumbsup

They have more chance of scrubbing but its very much dependant on tyre size / brand, ride height and geo set up.

 

If you do a search for ATS DTC there is quite a bit of information about it.
