Dear all,

Just the facts:

Braille Auto Develpment is joining forces with a well-known wheel manufacturer. We will be producing special edition wheels in a custom color scheme. For the sake of example, let's take the Volk TE-37 rim. Obviously it is most popular in bronze and white. Please select from the colors below what you think would both be unique and marketable.

Who is braille auto development?

Braille is made up of two seperate divisions:
The first is the tactile division. The second is our no-weight division. Let's start with the tactile first. Braille's tactile division will offer products that make a difference the driver can "feel". Example's of this is our QuickSteer which will reduce the steering turns lock to lock by 50%. Our shift ***** and pedals will also have actual braille raised surfaces. Recaro North America will be producing a custom seats for braille as part of the tactile division.

The No-Weight division is a play on words for the lightweight product line. Braille will offer three stages of lightweight parts for its customers. Simply stage 1, 2 and 3. The first stage focuses on offering decreased weight with no daily-driven trade-offs. The second stage offers a greater increase in weight reduction with some compromises needed by the driver. The third stage is for those who are hard-up for performance. This stage is for those that most often have striped interiors and no passenger seating or comfort in mind.
What products make up the stages?

• Carbon Fiber Hoods
• Carbon Fiber Hatches
• Carbon Fiber Bumpers
• Carbon Fiber One-piece front ends
• Carbon Fiber Doors
• Carbon Fiber Sunroof Replacements
• Carbon Fiber Visors
• Recaro Seats - some fiberglass, some carbon-kevlar
• A bare Carbon Kevlar Seat
• Pre-formed and full-race Acrylic Windows
• Titanium Exhausts
• Volk and Gram Light Special Edition Wheels
• Aluminum Bumper Supports
• 11 pound daily-use battery
• Lightweight Door Panels
• Spare Tire Replacement Kits
• Titanium Bolts

There will be much more info available on the web when the http://www.brailleauto.com is launched. - It'll be a few months.

For more info on the QuickSteer feel free to email to quicksteer@hotmail.com

And as you guessed we are working on lightweight wheels.

Isn't it cool to be a part of the design process.

Thanks for your time,

where's the smoke weed every day choice?

 

I knew you'd pick it.. so... Actually, the poll only allows 9 choices and smoke weed everyday pretty much means you'd pick the 10th choice of green rims... But I couldn't put that either

I can't really pick a color until I see the actual product on the car.

hehe, i like to nitpick but i'm pretty sure you mean a greater decrease in weight, i can increase weight for free by inserting a few fat friends..
looking forward to seeing some neat products

 

Pick your favorite wheel color!

Anything that hides brake dust

Orange wheels/lips :*(

 

"greater increase in weight reduction" ---- solved!!!

Taken Care of!- Blake

 

When I say Acid Dipped = The bare forged aluminum with a durable clear applied.

 

I might have to hold off before buying a set of volks now.
Can't wait to see pics.

 

Yes, if you are currently planning on purchasing a set of volks new, let me know. email me.

 

We need more votes, thanks!

 

Urban Camo

 

I'm not sure I know what any of those colors looks like.

Acid Dipped (no paint)?? WTH?

Chris - totally confusored.

i was just about to say that to....

 

Blake, Just a few Ideas:

Acid dipped & Clear coated with Black Lip or maybe a polished lip

A Silver or bare metal rim but the backside (Everything behind the spokes) is Black, similar to the Work Meister S2R wheels.

Black Rim with Bronze lip

 

How about ALL Black?
