Re: different way to attach threads
We found that the pop rivets supplied by IFI worked very well. We had an "assembly line" of 4 students: one marking, one drilling, one pre-placing rivets and eating Chex mix, and one using the rivet gun. Did 7 wheels in a little more than two hours.
Don't forget to make sure the end of the rivet gets through the wheel rim before you start squeezing - this was a common problem when we started.
We used the wheel rim itself as the template for marking the belts for drilling, and it worked well.
Can't wait to experience the high traction of these wheels. We feel sorta lame knowing that ours aren't anodized, but maybe we'll just put an IFI sticker on the quarter panel...
