Damn those are sexy!

I think a split 5-spoke would look killer too. I think the odd bolt spacing is throwing off the looks the most for me though.

I've been waiting a long time for these wheels to become a reality, I cannot wait until tomorrow when they are in my hands. Thank you Gerame, they are awesome I cannot wait to build a rig around them!

putting the wheel hex on the front beadlock, is a great idea. i hope this idea quickly starts showing up on some berg offset rims

I told Gerame I wanted them to be sucked in as tight as possible, can't get much tighter than that.

This should all but eliminate scrub steer.

then thank you for the great idea. i have the feeling this will have the rippled effect with other companies, or atleast it should. its a great way to keep the strength in the wheel hex while giving that super narrow offset

Oh it was all Gerame's design, I just gave him some basic parameters and needs I had and he made it all work.

The only concern I would have is them getting into the links, shocks, etc. The would be great on a super bully, but I thought you were building a berg super.

PS. I am in for a set with Delrin hoops. Please get these on your website.

Yep building a berg. I will have 100% of my available steering throw one way or another. That is a major design criteria for this rig.
