That's a pretty neat rim, you have a better pic or two?

Yes it's not cleaned or show-quality polished in that shot, I'll get some other pics up ASAP, Mon. at the latest. For some reason when I try to upload from my ipad, if I try to do more than 1 a post, it won't accept them, even if I post, exit, and return to try 'edit' to load another pic, again.

That looks like a heavy rim!

It's 27.5 lbs as you see it, no brake disc mounted. The web is 3/4". It has a smoothly-radiused shape to the wheel 'shoulder,' the rim outside. It has a traditional shoulder for the tire bead. The relief holes can be bigger or a different shape, I chose to make it in the style of a Halibrand magnesium wheel which was very popular on Indy cars. Removing material costs time, time is $ to the machinist, how-ornate or light do you care to go?
The pics are shot w/an Olympus 12 mp camera so you should be able to enlarge them if you wish.
They still have the protective coating they put on the wheel disc, polish the completed wheel to your heart's content, powdercoat it, or however you wish to finish it.
The width between the beads is 5-1/2" but there's a parallax error in the picture. We see in 3-D, the camera doesn't.

That's a pretty nice rim! More pics definitely help to look at. If you don't mind me asking, what's that rim run for$

Was the doner a v-rod wheel?
No. A new 'virgin' wheel disc mated to a VMax hub.
