Thanks mates, currently i'm sick of all wheelpolishing, but you do help me!

Three of'em are now ready. I'm doing these slowly... that's my trademark The reason is that i buy a car that i will never sell so i have all time in the world.

i have 2 other wheelprojects going on too......

No no i used a Hacksaw Joke actually with structural bond they will be stronger than the stock rim But i have to keep it in my mind that these are 70's wheels and are made for lesser stress and wear compared to modern wheels. As long i have them on my old boulevardcruiser, so it won't be a problem.

what, no eye measurements are used ... rimrings aren't hanging in the air. They are milled in in the centerpiece, even the spokes had to be milled couple millimeters (flush mount? look the pic i drew)



and has less than 0,2mm tolerance to fit the rimrings in. BBS RS rimrings are manufactured to the same tolerance. It is a snug fit and i had to use rubbermallet to get the rimrings to the bottom. Three of them are perfectly balanced with 5-10g weights and one has 35g and that one has a welded crack on it... actually we managed to do two of these perfectly round and two shows some eccentric wobbling by micrometer, about 0,22mm if i remember right.

Wow, I didn't see that you were going with a milling machine to cut off the existing barrels. Since that's the case, I see no reason to believe that these won't work. It's not like you're adding new stress points.
