look pretty cool, would look better if the rims were a different color and there were about double the bolts, for a more authentic look

I think they look pretty decent. Just a suggestion - I'd line up the bolts with the spokes, and add a few for a more realistic look. You've got 5 spoke wheels, I would run 10 bolts - five that line up with the spokes, and five inbetween those. How'd you make them? I guess I'm not familiar with sink washers. Did you have to enlarge the center hole at all?

 i narrowed them using the lathe and a utility knife(took about 5 sec. per side per wheel) them just marked the washers then drilled them with the six holes.(i agree with you guys that they do need more holes) and then just glued the rings to the wheels. heres what the washers are http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e3...WLR/washer.jpg | |
