|  I cut some Vanquish .6 caliber weights down
I love the look of the fully loaded Vp .6 caliber weights in the Vp Dirty Harry pro comp 2 wheels, but didn't like all the weight of a fully loaded wheel in the rear. I like to run 2 bullets in the rear. So I cut them down on a CNC lathe with a parting tool and then faced them @ .290 thick. So now a fully loaded rear wheel is only 28g extra. And I have the extra brass I can put in behind the weights if I feel the need. I emailed Vp about the idea but they didn't reply that I'm aware of. It's not the cheapest mod. Rear wheel  Front wheel   Last edited by Jstall7543; 05-30-2012 at 01:39 PM. |

I never could figure out why their wheel weights are so expensive. It's just bar stock parted off and engraved. My guess is that they have a 250-300% markup on these. I might consider putting my wallet away if their stuff wasn't so dang nice and purdy. Got us by the balls they do... | |
