Yes, I have their wheels on my R8 RWS. I also ordered their 2 piece brakes. They were fantastic with working 1 on 1 with me to custom design this set. I made a post about it here:
New wheels for my RWS

 

Awesome!

Their prices are fantastic. And any color I want for no extra charge. Found them from an IG ad.

 

Triton is selling them for $792 each

If these are fully forged monoblock wheels, makes me wonder why there is such a huge disparity vs HRE. Perhaps @TritonMotorsports can help answer this.

 

Like I said, the wheels they designed and built for me are fantastic and I am supper happy with them. If you want more photos, let me know

 

Probably because HRE is way overpriced

 

Clearly the poster has no metallurgical knowledge. HRE invented metal. Obviously.

Brixton is stupidly overpriced too! Quoted $17k for a set and 9 month wait. Nah…no one is accepting that on the regular for a 9 month wait, but cool. Enjoy.

I paid 9K for my audi sport performance parts wheels. These are made by app tech - probably one of the best wheel makers anywhere. That’s my ceiling for wheels I’m afraid.

HRE and Brixton must be joking at 17K. Absolute nonsense. They are fine wheels. But their prices are ludicrous and definitely not worth any where near that.

 

@JuddS can find aliexpress equivalents

 

Well, Xi today bent to pressure from the unprecedented protests and signaled he would be easing lockdown restrictions. As soon as those are over I'll be going over to China for a few months to network with my business contacts.

But today I'm planning my next adventure and I think it's a ship from Hull, England to Amsterdam for a few days of fun then a flight to Peru to pick up my bike and ride to Bolivia and perhaps beyond. I'm hoping the deal I'm here to do falls apart and then I'll be totally obligation free until January 7th.

I'll meet with Jack Ma in Japan and get the alibaba thing going properly again.

 

Where are Tritons made?

 

Asia and EU

And where is your metal sourced from?

 

Sounds like just another fly by night wheel company that also supplies brake rotors. Where are the independent safety certifications on the wheels? Have the brakes been track tested like 034MS and Girodisc?

I wouldn't put their wheels or brakes on my car even if they gave them to me for free. Ask yourself, is it worth the safety of you and/or your loved ones to save a few bucks over proven brands?

I've been in the industry and I can tell you when a company has "USA" specifically in their name, more often than not indicates that their stuff is made anywhere BUT the USA. It's just some PO box registered stateside that has stuff dropshipped from wherever it's actually made.

Doesn't mean stuff made in China or Taiwan can't be of good quality, but it just seems disingenuous.

Caveat Emptor.

 

You seem to have pretty strong opinions. Based on your "been in the industry wisdom"- no new business should ever dare to enter the market because "Proven Brands".
We have had our brakes tested in different environments, different driving conditions and we ship worldwide- including some nations with outrageously strict regulations. I personally ran the brakes on my own car for over 20,000 miles with countless hard stops from high triple digits including driving on a road course track.
None of us are stupid enough to put our names on the line for a few hundred bucks. All of us understand the liability that comes with these things.
None of the products were released to the masses before being tested throroughly. If we are trusted enough to supply CCM brakes for aircraft maintenance, I can bet my bacon that they will stop my car.
Our wheels are also independently certified. Every order we take is run through the system regardless of the design/specs being repeated with thorough heat maps at varied speeds to make sure there won't be failures.
Just because a business is new and hasn't spent thousands to plaster their name on the billboards doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing.
You do not have to buy anything from us since we are new. We'll keep doing what we're doing. Enjoy your weekend.

FEA Analysis ≠ JWL & VIA Certification. Not that your company has claimed otherwise.

I get that we all gotta start somewhere, but transparency will get you farther than obfuscation in this community.

"Asia" and "EU" are quite vague. Where are the forgings sourced from? Where are the wheels machined? Where are the brakes made?

 

To be honest, I use FEA on a daily basis for designing really critical structural components and I'd kind of prefer if less after market companies used it. I've seen a suspension company showing their FEM models to customers on social media and they have no idea how to use it. That stuff takes years to figure out how to use effectively.

That being said, always good to see more brands competing in this sector so I'm hoping Triton will be successful.

 

@NYG - what would you like to see for wheels as far as specs to show they are up for the task on an R8 or any other high performance car? I'm asking because those acronyms @bavarianstance used mean nothing to me. I'm just a dumb guy that likes to learn.
