I need some help guys! I've been given the task of coming up with a name for a wheel my company are bringing in to the UK. It's the first sort of retroish style wheel we've done. Looks very JDM, drifty sort of thing. Any ideas?  |

I actually prefer those to S1s. What sorta money are they? Not entirely sure yet, but I imagine around £350 - £450. it will be under the south african brand name 'Gang Racing'. |

It seems a little unfair to suggest he's being unoriginal when you're the one who appears to be planning on selling a wheel that looks (to me at least) just like another company's product? I can't help noticing the image address too. (http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k420/Timmibob/workmeistermbp.jpg) I reckon you'd be better off being honest and calling it something like the Master S1, call a spade a spade. |

The Cyberclopse
The Psychobetagammatron
The Rimster
The Stinky Sanchez
Or since it's made by Gang Racing you could call it The Bang/Banger/Big Bang?
I can see the adverts now - The Gang Bang "9 of 10 race drivers enjoy it"

Brilliant. This is going to be annoying for those running genuine Work Meister S1's. Me included. And some images to keep everything on topic.   |

Well, Rota et al have done well enough from it, I don't suppose another 'homage' will hurt. How about the ZCW Werkz?  |

The company's called gang racing so why not the gang bang or gang master or gang of pirates or gang of knife wielding hoodies. Even cool and the gang or gang land shootings there's numerous possibilities with that one.

Yeah I just tagged it that so I would remember which ones they were. We had a big list of wheels we could bring in and these were my favourites.My first thought was that they were Work replicas, but apparently they are different. Plus, they are one piece cast and heat treated, not two piece forged. Love the Gang Bang idea. We were in fits in the office! Not sure it would sell though haha! Finally came up with a name though. Gang Racing R5. R for Retro or Racing. 5 for 5 spoke. Not as funky as Psychobetagammatron though. They will only be a limited run. The only reason we're having them is that the factory accidently made far to many for the South African branch, and we were offered them. I'm really trying to show the team that the retro market is massive, so convinced them to bring them in. If they sell, we'll be doing our own retro wheels, and I'll be spending my summer being paid to go to retro car events XD I love my Job  |
