Massive price drop on Jongbloed wheels
We'll admit it. The Jongbloed wheels were a disappointment when they arrived. While they're strong as heck due to their flow formed construction and look good, they were heavier than we'd been quoted. This was a problem.
Thanks to the missed spec, we were able to negotiate a massive price drop. How much? Between $80-90 per wheel. Obviously, that's huge. Here's the new pricing:
15x8, 14.8 lbs: $108
15x9, 15.4 lbs: $108
15x10, 15.8 lbs (est): $139
Now they're the same price as the popular TR Motorsport C1 and C3 wheels, but they're lighter and stronger - and better looking. The main shipment should be arriving in November, but we have a limited number of silver and black 15x9 wheels in stock now.

Bronze is also coming, but was not available for photos.

now THAT'S better.
Any other colors planned? I really would want something that's more of a charcoal or gunmetal color. Is this a limited time sort of thing or will you be carrying these wheels at this price for some time?

What do you mean, exactly?
I've decided that I'd be willing to spend an extra $250 to get what I REALLY want.... but that I'm also willing to wait another year to do it. Hopefully 6UL's are in stock next winter.

If you want 6ULs in a rainbow of colors, we can supply those. If you want Advantis, we can supply those. Heck, I ordered some Traklites for a customer today - and THOSE come in some weird color combos. The Jongbloeds are now an excellent alternative to the TR Motorsport wheels.
Options are good.

Same answer as before. All I can say for sure is that these prices, colors and weights apply to the shipment on the water right now. We got some huge concessions from the manufacturer for this batch due to the 10% weight overshoot, they may not want to do another run at these prices - or maybe they'll sort out the weight. I'll have to find out.
It's a pretty big shipment.
