      Yes, the final product is pretty much the same design as the graphic picture I orginially posted. In fact I'll take one sec here to compare....<pause>.....

      The only difference I can see between the rendering and the actual wheel is where the spokes meet the barrel of the wheel they seem to be set in slightly deeper on the actual wheel. Not too much but let's say in the rendering that depth is 0.5" then in the actual wheel it's probably 1". Not linearly twice as deep but you get my point.

      Cheers.

      vunderbar......

      I always get confused w/ "barrel"......the outer lip?........so it has MORE of a lip appearance?.........sounds good anyhew.......I thought the orig rendering had a nice beefy tough look..not pretty like.
      I love sitting down and just driving!

            Read post #1 for target weight. Actual weights not available yet as the wheels are only in prototype/testing at the moment.

                          Production casting date is set for mid Aug so I'd say we might see them here by mid Sept at the earliest, likely end of Sept. I don't have any say in the timeline, I was just the one pushing all this to happen. Believe me, I wish wheels were getting here earlier...believe me.

                          Cheers.

                                Jack, is it possible to get a side profile shot to see how the spoke curve goes and how much lip there is?
