Im working on the wheels as we speak.. I'm hoping to have 2 sets finished by next week. But, both sets I'll probably keep. Then, If people drool over them (you will) ill start thinking about doing a small "batch". But, right now im still figuring stuff out.

Heres the start of the hubs/hexes off the lathe:

And here's whats happening in the mill:

I have a ways to go yet. I have a couple good ideas up my sleeve. I think they will turn out good.

[sally1800]

Those look good. You should make the spacers as well.

Are the hub hex corners milled out to keep axle hex from rounding?

No, its like that because I cant mill sharp corners with round tools. The endmill is round, imagine what it would look like if I just made a hex shape with a round tool. It would have round corners and the hex wouldnt fit. What you see just simulates sharp corners.

[johnnyh66]

damn, a round bit was my first guess but I started thinking you could be on to something.

Man, these 1.9 Iroks are lookin' good on the 2.2 CAC's..

Thats the combo I want to run on the C2 FJ only using the wheels im making.
CAC makes some sexy ass wheels.. Ill be happy if my wheels turn out half as cool as theirs.

You see how the CAC has the two different bores on the one side (as seen) and then the other side has just the one bore that is the same depth as the shallow bore of the side with two bores? Understand?
Well, my shallow bore side will be similar to the CAC but, on the side with the two bores, my wheels will have only one bore but, it will be the depth of the deeper inner bore at the diameter of the bigger outer bore follow?
So, on the one side of my wheel, it will be deeper from the face..and on that same side, my beadlock ring will be deeper to reach the inner face of the wheel.. So, the one side will look like a "deep dish" style wheel. The offsets will remain the same.
I came up with a cool design for the inner face where CAC has the 12 holes, I have something different that I think is going to look good.
