Re: pic: Alluminum wheel #1

The spoke design is a little inefficient. It makes no sense to widen the spoke as you go out, as the stress is greatest closer to the hub.

Depending on diameter and width, .68 is a tad heavy compared to a lot of custom wheels I have seen. What are it's dimensions?

Does look like a solid start though.

Also, if you are planning on mating it with a plate sprocket (I'm guessing by the hole pattern), you might want to do a 6 bolt hole pattern for #10's on 1.875 circle. This is AMs standard pattern, and will save you a lot of time if you use their sprockets.

I can't tell if it is supposed to be a live or dead axle. The center bore is too small for reasonable size bearings, but has no keyway.
