Thank You Terry Thanks for asking Zabco No it's not. I put King Hauler rims in Chlorine and got rid of the Chrome. Skeeter You Nailed that one It's leftover PVC schedule 40 i think the name is. No need to cut down rear rims to get what i want...........The fleet is running white spinners anyway

Thanks for reply, I asked because the lighting in your photo made the hubs look alot like some rims I tried 3d printing some time ago. Was going to ask you how much effort it was to smooth them out as much as it appeared you had. I really like your idea though of mixing the hub portion of a standard wheel with the machined pvc. I think I'm going to try that just using 3D printed hubs. If nothing else will save a lot of support material and make cleanup much easier.

How do you like the little chop saw? Is that one of the Micro-Mark ones? I've got a project I'm planning that is going to call for a ton of brass cutting and I'm thinking of getting one.
