Yup, that was the exact thread I was referring to from E30tech.com on the first page of this thread.

Here's a different take... just the center hollowed out and some lettering machined in. Obviously you could add whatever text you wanted.


and for Buddy from NF :)

Newfoundland? And the fact that you have A III Whelan on a wheel is crazy, my name is Aaron Whelan and I'm from Newfoundland. And I have no idea who you are. Small world

Id buy a set in 16 " :)

Lol. hope you're not actually being serious about them being dangerous. 1.5 ksi peak? What were your boundary conditions? And that looks like Mechanica if I'm not mistaken?

Even with a 50% knockdown for the casting factor on, let's say whatever it is (maybe 6061), you're still looking at a FOS=10...

What size of wheel is this? And how common are they?
These look like an even nicer blank canvas to modify.

e36 weave it's a 15" but also a 5 lug so kinda pointless on an e30 unfortunately.
