Cause it's a gamble!
Every hear of those wheels company's in Florida and what they did to the market with these "one off" and "only sets in the world" type wheels?
Hair line cracks
Leaks
I completely forgot the company names but I stay shy of company's claiming all this customizable ability by using renderings only...
Hopefully someone else can chime in...
Also what's the price they quote you with sponsorship? I would compare that to what a set of works/ssr's would be in that same offset with no special colors. I know SSR hikes the proc up way more than works just because of the finish.

I've done one off wheels and I've had friends do one off wheels before. It isn't a big deal. As a matter of fact, there's a member on here with a 350Z and a 300C (I can't remember his forum name but the ig usertag is E85_Hemi) with one off wheels on his 300 that my buddy Anthony had built about 4 or 5 years ago. And they're still hanging on.
The key to wheels is doing your research. There are PLENTY of legitimate companies that do cast and multipiece wheels CORRECTLY. Import buyers don't generally utilize them because we're somewhat wheel snobs, but the euro and domestic market seem to branch out a bit more.
That said, I can see why you're going the route you're going.

Most wheel sponsorships ( or sponsorships in general) still have you paying cost or a hair more....in that light, manufacturers get your marketing for free..and you get a healthy discount. . Still quite beneficial.

Sponsorship doesn't mean FREE in MOST cases. I think a lot of people have that misconception. And, to be sponsored, you have to have a car that doesn't really NEED to be sponsored. Something you've already built that already has a following or show presence. I think a lot of people see a built car with sponsor stickers and assume that some company paid for that car. Not the case at all. If the scene knew how sponsorships worked, I think that most of the scene would stop asking for sponsors. It's a lot of work to be sponsored. Trust and believe. It ain't all gum drops and lollipops.

although what he seems to be going for is a very unique setup which I understand wanting to pursue that route as well.

Well, you won't get custom specs from any notable wheel company at that price. I mean, you can go with some different offsets. Hell, even Varrstoen does that. But truly custom spec wheels run about twice that or more (depending on company and sizing).

Have the same kit
Okay guys I'm about to pre-order the rocket bunny kit. The specs for this kit are not out yet but I believe the flares will be +40mm extra for the front fenders and +65mm extra for the rear fenders based off of other rocket bunny kits.
How wide of wheels and what offset do you guys think I will need to achieve a nice flush look?
Here is a pic of my car and the rocket bunny kit
