Message This is the first step in a VERY long journey... I drew the one on the left (with AutoCAD) while taking measurements of my wheels.

And, I'm not convinced the 16" ones are drawn correctly. They're arguably close though I think.

There's soooooo much involved in designing a cast wheel with complex curves such as this one, that once I have access to CNC equipment, casting equipment, and time to do so, I might actually try to make these wheels...but no sooner. Unfortunately there won't be much demand for them that they'd be very expensive to make. It would probably be more cost-effective for a low-volume run to cast blanks, then machine the centers instead of a creating a dedicated casting process. We'll see =)
