Title: Made these proclass rims
Post by: login_user on September 27, 2007, 02:31 PM
As i can't find any 24" proclass rims anyhwere i thought i'd have a go at making my own.

Take a couple of Araya 24" 7x rims,
Strip them,
Mark Them out
And then drill them in stages as not to ruin the rim .

And Hey Presto

 :LolLolLolLol: ,sure is. About 2hrs per rim, drilling them out took for ages,had to do it in stages so it didn't make hexagonal holes.  8)
