Nice set-up, Peter! Looks like your customer stayed with the same width all around. Nice drop too. Man, HRE high polish can easily be mistaken for chrome...nice!

Nice, Peter! I'm a little surprised at this set-up: a rotateable set-up on a car that came from the factory with 17x7.5 front and 17x8.5 rear...

I guess it'll save him/her a few $ due to being able to rotate. An interesting combination, though: BMW+HRE= saving $$!

Keep up the great work!

Gee, I dunno... whatever could you guys be talking about? Oh, 20Rs? We're just finishing up a large private-label wheel project this week- hopefuly, we'll be able to refocus on those 20R center forging drawings next week.
1) Design, create drawings, run finite-element analysis
2) Design review & approval
3) Create tooling
4) Create lathe & mill programs
5) Create prototype
6) Send out prototype wheel for testing (one of each style x8 styles)
7) Begin production (provided wheels pass test and need no revisions)

Production release target: June '02
