[urq] Very Thin Porsche Wheel Adapters?

[Patrick Carlier]

Wow these are real  nice looking rims .
And at a very reasonable price to .
Tempting .
And yes your math seems to be OK .

I'de say , take it to a machine shop , have them made in
a good quality alloy steel . Cr-Mo perhaps .
It's an easy part , I think I could do it in an anfternoon
on the lathe and mill .
In a cnc shop it shouldn't take more than an hour .

Keep us posted .

Pat
