Re: pic: Bling Bling 1817
The spokes look a little thin, do you think there's enough structural integrity to support the outside of the wheel?

Looks great guys!!

They are made of 7075 aluminum and the spokes and rims are 100 mils thick.

Well, we don't waterjet them. We use the a CNC (like a computerized end mill). It's kinda a huge waste of material (all but the outer most material comes out as just shavings).... but they look cool and it was all donated material. As for how much, we'll have to figure that out before inspection. I mean just price a 8"x8"x2" block of 7075 and that x4 will tell you what the wheels would have cost us.

Re: pic: Bling Bling 1817
WOW, These look very nice but are they worth the price???

I checked McMaster and a piece of 8" X 8" X 2" 7075 is $290.30

With all the respect, I think thats an overkill price for a wheel.

They do look nice thou.

Just wondering, are you guys planning on making a spare? do you even think there is a chance of failure? (i have never had a chance to put my hands on such high grade aluminum before.)
