Here's some pictures of the very first set of Ras Customs wheels. Granted they aren't completely mine, but they do prove the concept.

I later realised I should have got the weight of the complete wheel, but just as a comparison here is the weights of the original wheel, and the parts that replaced it.





The wheels proved to be very easy to mount, about the same, if not easier than the 'normal' style beadlock. Best part though is it will fit about about 49mm knuckle weights for even more weight under the axle.







Original next to the new internal style


Little bead holding test

This updates a couple days old now, but I'll post up anyway.

Weight of Eritex Charlotte (light version)


Weight with my parts


Just to show how much room these wheels have. Note that the weights on there are already 'oversize' at 44mm compared to the standard 38mm or 40.5mm.

Just a little project I tried to test out my new toy for the mill. Unfortunately this one will have to remain a unfinished prototype, I stuffed up the position of the bearing pockets so the mesh is too tight.
