Updated my Seal
This was a long project for me. I wanted to update my wheels for my car. Fortunately for me, I have a partnered factory that makes wheels for my company (we mostly make wheels for performance Hondas such as NSXs, S2000s). I've been wanting to go with a design and even thought of doing a Y spoke design; though I think it was too plain. Someone showed me a Taycan and I immediately thought, wow! I wonder how those wheels would look on my Seal! But I wanted to go extra and make sure the color matched (Shadow Green was a pain to paint match!) After 5 different paint samples, I settled for one and off it went for manufacturing. I went with OEM specs to not go out of the blue and potentially fail vehicle inspection (necessary here in Japan). After one sample finished, I submitted it for JWL and VIA testing. Once passed, I went forward with a full production set. The wheels took a total of one month from start to mounted. 100% forged and powdercoated. Not flow formed. I've shared the design on a BYD Seal Facebook Page and got comments that want the same wheel. Mostly from those in Australia. If you're interested, I'll share with you a link to a shop my company partnered up with to help distribute these wheels that I made for myself to others. But in white and indigo blue (I heard shadow green wasn't available in Aus). If you're elsewhere, send me a PM and I'll see what I can do. But anyway, BYD dealer here in Japan was very surprised with the wheels since it was a complete direct swap. No hub centric rings, no different lug nuts, and center caps matched perfectly. What do you guys think? I'm extremely satisfied with seeing it in person from a design that I thought of during the summer last year.
