Description
Before you call us crazy, let us beat you to the punch. We already know we're nuts. What you see here is clear proof of this.
At first, you will ask, "Why in the world would ANYONE produce such an expensive wheel spacer?" Actually, this was the last thing on their mind, when they started the thinking process of the Rogue Engineering MEGALIGHT wheel spacer.
Whilst Rogue Engineering have been successful in producing, marketing and selling the current Rogue Engineering Wheel Spacers, there are countless others that have claimed that they have wheel spacers are lightweight, ultra-light (with no weights published) or even the ultimate. With all of these unsubstantiated claims, Rogue Engineering started playing around on the computer to see if they could design something that truly represented "out of the box" thinking.
By starting with their proven design, they kicked around some initial ideas to save weight (while maintaining the functionality of a 15mm spacer). After a few renderings, Rogue Engineering settled upon a conceptual design.
The 3D computerized model showed them that in 6061-T6 aluminum, it would weigh approximately 210g. That is approximately 1/2 the weight of a well-known German brand spacer. Computer models are great for development, but Rogue Engineering really wanted to see it become a reality. they exported the 3D files, emailed them to the machine shop, which is where they start their CNC magic. After some fancy machining, minor deburring, the first samples were ready.
The initial samples were indeed 210g each, just as the computer had calculated.
While the current wheel spacers are anodized, Rogue Engineering wanted to have a unique finish for this project. They needed something that would indicate that these were something very special. Rogue Engineering decided on an electroless nickel plating, a finish usually reserved for coating applications where wear resistance, hardness and corrosion protection are a priority. This is typically a plating used in electronics printed circuit boards, hard disc drive, and optical surfaces for diamond turning. Not the cheapest finish, but high tech, and it looks great!
Even though these are MEGALIGHT, Rogue Engineering have kept the features like notched back to easily remove spacers that have become stuck onto stubborn hubs.
After the design, machining and plating, Rogue Engineering finally finished the "Project MEGALIGHT". Of course, when you design a "money no object" kind of product, it's expected that most people (if any) would NOT buy them. Maybe these would be good for a Bugatti Veryon owner, looking to get that Hella Flush look? If that's the case, back to the computer for more modeling for those guys!
Rogue Engineering have produced only a few sets of these 15mm MEGALIGHT spacers. The spacers have 72.5mm hub bores in a 5x120 bolt pattern.
Sold by the pair and Includes longer hardware.
Estimated Volumetric Shipping Weight : 2.00 Kg
