Anyone own the Paradox by Design armored wheels?

[SteveMc]

I just ordered a set of 18" armored rims from Paradox by Design.

Derrek Khajavi is the owner and is very good with communications. The delivery is set for 8 weeks, maybe because I ordered the flat silver which might be uncommon.

These are made in Utah and the writeup sounds perfect to me; lightweight forged aluminum with beefed-up beads, lots of focus on aerodynamics and balance, and to me they look great!

Just wondering if anyone has experience with these or am I the guineapig!!

Hmm.. $65k for a set of 4 wheels?
Interesting...

My bad! I'm traveling. Had no idea it was listed in local currency!

This doesn’t seem like guerrilla marketing, at all.

Word of mouth is much cheaper lol

I see it happen all the time but I don't get paid to be a moderator and frankly I could care less. Its between the admin and the poster

I’m not complaining. This website is primarily driven by advertisement. It’s heavily sponsored and geared towards that. Many giveaways on the website require recipients to give a review after receipt. When that happens most of us disclose it, some don’t.

I just thought it was funny as hell how obvious it was in this instance. Thus, the South Park meme. Sometimes when they do it it does come across as insulting to our intelligence. This time I mean it was literally like if Colombo was trying to bumble his way into moving merch.

Considering this line: "LAUNCH PRICING!! These will go up VERY soon!" Yep.

Unfortunately/fortunately, all these wheels can be had for $300/per or less directly from China.

Do you have a link to the same wheels for half price? I was personally looking at the Paradox wheels for my AWD Standard that’s coming in June. But Patadox is new, and no one seems to have them, and I don’t want to risk $2400 on something with nothing more in quality review than trust me bro, on their website. The OP suggesting 8 week lead time, would indicate shipping from China. I don’t mind the 8 week wait, as I have to wait for the truck. I’d definitely spend $1200 on them though.
im hoping Haloblk has their cover done by June, I’ll just stick that over the steelies. But if I could save 5 to 8 lbs per wheel, with an aero wheel from forged aluminum, that still looks tough, that would be cool. Might offset the heavier AT Falkens I want.
I do like that the Paradox has floating hubs like a Rolls Royce. But it only comes with their logo. Their logo is a fox, but it sort of looks like the Cyber owl. If I were to get these I’d probably have someone 3d print hub covers with a glow in the dark X, from the SpaceX logo.

What an adventure! This was my first post and it got deleted because some people thought I was trying to sell these wheels or promote the company. I explained the situation to the site managers and they re-instated it fairly quickly.
Let's be clear, I ordered a set of these wheels for the $59,990 AWD Cybertruck I have on order and I am not promoting the company or the wheels. I haven't received them yet and I can't tell you anything about them or the company beyond what you will find on their website.
As an excited new member of this forum, I am merely asking if anyone has purchased these wheels and what their experience has been.
Being a newbie, I can't tell if you folks are under a constant bombardment of spam and false advertising, or if cynicism rules the day on this forum.
Regardless, I am still curious if anyone has purchased these wheels and if they are pleased with their purchase.

And yes, I am old.

Deleted? What has been deleted? Never mind, you’re saying it was deleted and then reinstated apparently.

I wasn’t aware that admin deleted things for being advertisements. Mostly you only see politics and flame wars get deleted. Interesting.

I'm thinking that I am in fact the Guinea pig. Well, maybe that will motivate Paradox to do a perfect job with my wheels! For sure, I will keep you posted on the order, delivery and inspection of these rims.
