Seems like they cut the center, and welded it to the barrel, simular to how cpr's and what not are made? I think this would look very good if the face was stripped down and polished, the polish lip + gun metal face looks cheap, but it could still be under contruction. seems like it would be a good way to salvage rims that are bent beyond repair, cracked etc. a friend of mines is attempting something similar to this with a pair of broken rims as we speak. its cool if you have access to the machines and what not or work at a wheel shop. so you can play around with ideas like this.

 

ew look at those welds

 

if only the faces were concave too..

 

agree,concave CE, all polish with step lips would be really nice !!

 

ha dang, i inquired about doing this to mine a few months ago. looks good, would look better with concave face

 

I threw up a little bit!

 

Yep, those wheels are ruined.

 

Someone posted pics of this weeks ago. I'll say it again too. I'm not feeling it at all. Wayyy too much lip.

 

cool taking one peice wheels.. prolly my favorite wheel of all time and ruining them.


new trend for 2012??

 

Yuck.
