GearHead is back at it?

It looks like Gear Head, RPP's in house brand just put out the first item in years. It seems like its been 5-8 years since they put out anything new. I hope they come out with more.

Sweet! I've got a couple sets - fantastic wheels.

Great to see them back! They have always made beautiful wheels. But IMO they need to update their style for more modern times IMO and get rid of the screw heads on the face of the wheels. Move all the mounting screws to the rear. Not so keen on this set though. I love orange, but these are just ugly. Maybe it's just a bad photo. I thought Gear Head sold to China because there's a company making a lot of lookalike Gear Head wheels.

Well there's a post on their Instagram announcing these new wheels. And they have more colors on RPP at the link below. But man, the quality on these looks like cast China not the old, nicely machined Gear Head wheels of old.

Nice to see they’re back. I never had a chance to buy a set back in the day.

Sure do hope they come out with something better looking though. If I’m gonna spend $160 bucks, I’ll just buy a set of Vanquish wheels or Boomracing ProBuild wheels.
