Popular Post mayzie12 Posted April 27, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2016 Got the rim in the post from Harv today, and cracked on with the design of the first rim! Its a two part construction, the main face is one, and then the cylinder which contains the stud pattern. Thinking about maybe designing some Bolts in there to make it look like there bolted on. Also i forgot how big 1/5th rims are, ive stuck the parts into Cura and its going to be roughly 5 hours per hubcap, sadly i can only fit one on the bed at a time. So a set of 4 is 20 hours! I've got them at the minute a 5mm thick and after discussing what the best plan is to mount them, it seems to be leaving them blank, and just allowing everyone to drill the relevant holes in them to fit their bead retainers. Will try and tweak the design a wee bit to improve it then send one a pair down (albeit in the wrong colour) to make sure they will stand up to a good thrash! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Like the bolt idea.. Live the look of the wheel. Is it worth thickening the spokes a little. Will help hide the wheel below and add a little more material into the design. Is it also worth filling in the middle? No need to be able to take them off with the caps in position... i think I misled you earlier Craig. The beadlocks are the same bolt pattern, so you could design 3 mounting holes which I can then use longer bolts through the beadlock into the wheels, if you get my drift...? the other thing is that some of the wheels I use, have quite a flat face, so quite flush with the beadlock.. Can't recall what style of wheel I sent you down? My point is they may not take a dish on your hubcap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't recall what style of wheel I sent you down? My point is they may not take a dish on your hubcap. Ah yeah, that's what i was trying to say earlier with the bolt pattern of the beadlocks, all using the same etc.. That makes it better having prescribed holes, easy to add too. The dish at the minute is only 10mm, so it will sit maximum inwards 10mm from the furthest outside point of the beadlock it is attached to. Hoping to keep this even if i put it down to 5mm, as the original designs without this just looked like cheap hubcaps you'd through on a car from Halfords! If you could maybe measure up how much i could go in on different wheels (anyone) it would be a great help. I also thought about hiding the wheel, what about a brake disc?? Although this does come with the same problem as the disc, as it would require probably around 2mm behind the beadlock, or a 2mm gap between the face of the beadlock ad the rim in other words. I can thicken the spokes easy enough if i cant figure out the brake disc idea Also it was this wheel; 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Brake disc - another cracking idea mate! You're on a roll! Man that's one tatty wheel I sent up, with some shonky old beadlock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be misunderstanding you here? Are you using the wheel face as a beadlock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the existing beadlock will be used, this will sit on top of it and you will just need a few longer bolts as the bolt pattern on the hubcap is the same as the beadlock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
