    At first we were kinda trying for a Divo/Milk truck look-a-like but it turned out differently. Still a very cool looking wheel on its own.

    This is an 18x5.5", we can also make them in 17" and 16" by making the spokes shorter. What do you think?

    Fantastic- It reminds me a little of the General Jumbo wheels.

    I guess I will be the first to say, it will have to grow on me or maybe if i see it painted and mounted up. I think its cool you are bringing new designs out. and its even better they are 18" and only 5.5 wide

    I predict that you will have a hard time keeping up for awhile. I would also like to know a ball park figure and delivery time.

    They're going to be between $300-$400 depending on the size


    It's multi-lug, not very pretty

    We're ready to make them, give us a call at 559-322-2128 to order.

    I'm liking the looks of those. That may be what the AV8 project needs rather than wires.

    Reminds me of them General Jumbo rims...or whatever they were called??

    I kind of like the look of these...i'll have to wait to see them applied to something.

    Thought I'd put another picture up with one thats all dressed up, we've decided to change to 9 spokes because my dad thinks it looks better. I thought eight was better... anyway, this one is a 16x4"
     
  24. Agree.

    +1 on the nice wheel.

    There's a design theory where odd numbers of spokes look better to the majority of people. Kind of like that Greek rectangle thing about proportions.

    So this means you stamp the ribs one at a time? And can do any number? (that fits)

    In an effort to support the younger generation I like the 8 spoke better.:) Any chance of smaller diameters, wider rims?
