I was wondering if you were ever going to get them. I'm glad you like them, can't wait to see pics of them mounted.

I was getting a little frustrated that a couple of things I'm working on aren't working so I distracted my self with some of this.

They both need modifying - 6-hole needs smaller circle of holes and 8 hole needs a bigger circle of holes - but I got the basics figured out.

Q & C welcome.

I made a new slammed wheel. Think of it as an 'inch up' wheel.

Regular slammed rims are 25mm. These are 26mm.

And this is probably the 7th or 8th one of these I have made. I was getting a bit frustrated with this one but I'm pretty sure I can finish it properly now. This is really close but not quite perfect yet.

Q & C welcome.

Nice beadlocks, but they look a little too skinny don't cha think?

Delamaize · #86 04-05-2010, 12:10 PM

sorry it took so long to post pics, I got a lot of sh*t in my life right now.

Slammed in the weeds

here is the bare chassis

Handles like the real thing, wheel stall is a problem when turning. it is awesome. is anyone lower than me here?

I really like the bead-locks man, one question though, how does Part "A" of the Rim stay onto part "B"? I have been inspecting the pics and the diagram forever and cant seem to see how they stay on, would you gust have to glue them on?

They are not my design so I'm not sure what the original plan was, but the inside diameter of the one piece is the same as the outside diameter of the other so they just press together and are a real pain to get apart. But if you didn't want to change tires you could glue them together. I've read that CA glue dissolves in acetone and I think acetone won't wreck the corian. (I just looked it up and acetone will cause slight lightening after 16 hours of exposure. So I think it'll be okay.)

We got in some material that has to be one of the ugliest colours for a counter that I have seen, but I couldn't wait until it was done so I could snag the leftover garbage.

(No, I didn't make Z rims, I just wanted to see what they look like.)

And the perfect car for this colour rim.

Q & C always welcome.

lol who would want orange counters??? but they make awesome wheels man lookin good!

Bananabrain · #92 05-23-2010, 05:03 PM

Awsome rims you have made overtime. Orange really? lol Who would want that color of a counter top.

4G63punk · #93 05-23-2010, 05:12 PM

Looks nice, but I think the rims are too flat. Can you try to give the wheels a more concave look?

xmodcanuck · #94 06-19-2010, 08:58 PM

It's been a while since I came up with something new.
7 spoke + 26mm diameter.

Q & C welcome.

Q & C welcome.

Bananabrain · #97 06-27-2010, 09:42 PM

New design looks great. I like the spoke design.

I got a Barricade mustang a while back 'for my kids.' (It'll eventually be the one they learn to drive with.) While driving it around the house with them I noticed that on the carpet it had a lot of wheel spin and not a lot of go. It was fully dragging on the carpet. I decided the easiest way to get more ground clearance was to make bigger wheels. I could have just thrown on some slammed rims but I didn't want to deal with shaving the wheel wells. I did some measuring and figured that some 23mm wheels would be perfect. Unfortunately my guy upstairs at work who programmed most of my designs is no longer at work so I had to try and come up with something new and simple.

These are 0W in the front and +1W in the rear - perfectly flush. And full turn with no interference.

Q & C welcome.

Wasn't really happy with the holes on the last set. They had a flat spot on them. I figured it out and here's the new version.

Q & C welcome.

the white stands out more with the barricade paint scheme...i like the "police" lug nuts as well
