OK, what part spins and what part lights up? j/k :D

Not my style but, someone will buy 'em, nice design...
Are those four spokes going to be strong enough to support the wheel?

looks really unique... and in terms of style points +10. but not too sure about the realistic function of those wheels... highly doubtful those 4 narrow points would support the barrel of the rim....

best of luck!

I agree. It looks killer, but would never stand up to the forces applied by driving.

Not my style either, but still looks cool...

So, uh, what's this contest all about?

I like it a lot! Would look great on a show import. I think Konig would "tweak" the points to help support the barrel of the wheel.

Agreed. Nice job though!

Right about the support. I'm sure it's something that could be tweaked. The contest is about style at this point. I dunno if they're going after full functionality. Plus, I'm sure they know that the people submitting these designs are not engineers. Thanks for the comments.


oh, and the contest is through Modified Magazine.

Sell the rights to that design to Orange County Choppers. That would make a killer rim for a bike.

Definetely not enough hub support for a car rim.

This is an old wheel made by Kaotik ( I don't think it's available anymore ). But this is a flimsy looking wheel!
