    Agreed, you say 5 hours but that seems like a days work easy. Nice wheel.
     
  2. Looks like you have too much time on your hands - but you did a great job. Would have driven me nuts.

    I don't know about mass production but I'd like to make a few sets. I think they would look even better in an 18"

    Your a mad man... I used to lace my own bicycle wheels when I was a kid. I can only imagine how much a pain in the ass that was. Looks awesome!

    I need a set for my 38!
     
  8. Could that fit on 50's cars? If so, it would be awesome on an early Cadillac
     
  9. Reminds me of playing with a "Spyrograph" when I was a kid.

    Looks cool, but almost too complicated looking. Man, you have patience!

    I had to look at it for like 5 minutes to take it all in. I like it. I like it alot. I agree an 18" rim would fit it better though.

    Is that kind of a Kelsey-Hayes pattern, only doubled up and lip nippled?

    I have a set of 37s so, where do I get those spokes? Mine have several broken or rusted ones that look like a real bitch to get out. Thanks for any help in advance. Aman;)

  27. That is so sweet, nice work. I taught myself how to spoke bicycle wheels in the last couple of months, is it harder with car wheels?
