I have a 9" wide front, 12 rear, downsizing because I hated the way it looked with the 245 on the front.

315s out back.

Yeah, I really hated the look of the front tyres being noticeably bigger than the rears.

Thanks for the tip! Hoping I won't need to wash this often. The fabric feels very soft and delicate. A bit nicer than I expected. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Well, it helps that I have access to 35 engineers and a myriad of CAD equipped PC's. Also helping is that I have a friend that has a series of CNC machines, so really all I had to do was find the blanks and a 25 ton press...

Easy peasy... Sort of.

All in costs were a little over $2500 Canadian; if I cut my rate to $100/hr CDN, to factor in measurements, design and shipping, let's say another 10 hours (probably a little conservative), so all in $3500CDN.

And with that being said, if I were to do it again, I would change a couple of design elements on the spokes - I would shave the insides of them.

My inspiration for the design comes from the design of the 2005 GT2 wheel.
