    Here they are for your aftermarket "Smoothie" wheels.

    This is really a redo of something thats already available. But in my opinion the other ones were ugly (also designed by my dad) because they had bumps, dips and sharp edges. Here they are

    It may be minor to some people but I think it really make them look a lot better.

    Here it is in a 14x7 reverse chrome smoothie

    It's really something you have to see in person. It makes the wheel look really deep because most of the chrome is reflecting off of other parts of the wheel you don't really see any reflections from anywhere else. It's easy to get lost in a sea of chrome, I found myself staring at that wheel for prolonged amounts of time.

    You got a boob fixation wheelkid? They look like giant nipples .....especially when they are on the wheel, where the center looks like a chrome boob!

    I like it. I wasn't a fan of the lip on the old ones either, the outer ridge made it obvious that it was a pop-on center. This is cleaner.

    I didn't see that. Just assumed this was posted recently...:eek:
     
  23. These are just like the Esajian(sp?) ones I used to have... They only fit Appliance or Esajain(sp?) smoothies. These must fit modern smoothies.

    Yes and Yes, They are very similar to the original shannon cones for appliance wheels smoothies, but they fit modern smoothies.

    I left a voice message at this number days ago. I think I've decided to get some from wheel vintiques. Although, I like the style of these better.
