....ok, seems to be working now..........Jeff, the rims were designed by me on AutoCad from original Cessna drawings supplied to the AAF and printed in their maintenance manual..........there were built for me by a friend who was a self employed machine's.......the rims and back plates were made on a lathe.....the five openings that form the spokes were done on a standard mill.......he even installed ball bearings......they are so well balanced that when you spin them, they will continue to spin for over a minute.......He built these a long time ago and is no longer in that business......He is now a professional photographer .......but, i do have the original AAF drawings and the AutoCad drawings that I created, so if you are interested in having them machined, then I will gladly send copies of what I have..
