Someone has an extreme aversion to fasteners?
In a way, it's built like an aircraft part: lots of material wasted to get a complex solid shape—but few fasteners and joints to worry about, and minimal weight. But it seems like if you're going to go to those lengths to save weight, you ought to do something about the rim thickness. (Or is it going to be sliced much narrower later, and/or turned down significantly?)
