[V8] V8 s6 wheels

[David Head]

Yup...
You can look over what the UFO looks like at Chris Miller's web site, or try
this visual:

Take a large metal bowl and sit it upside down on concrete. Then take a
sledgehammer and bash it in dead center so it creates a dent in the middle.
Your rim will bolt to the dent in the middle. You have to worry about the
machining of your rim where it bolts up (outer edge), and the spokes too.
To finish off the UFO design, weld a rotor ring to the outside edge of your
bowl and cut holes in the bowl about every 3 inches for heat to escape...
