    You could, but Im not sure it would hold out if the client wanted to get serious, or it was the cause of death of third parties.

    Perhaps ''For race use only'' would work machined into them but I still wouldn't carry it out for 100K.

    Its all fun until someone gets killed - even if it is not wheel related at all, everything would get looked at.

    I tend to er on the side of caution though...

    Brian,

    For anything bar race applications (practical use) this type of wheel is far too `fussy` a design ... KISS ;) :)

    No different to any BBS split rim. All held together with m7 nuts/bolts on a 1/2" thick mounting face.
    Plus a split rim basket/outer isn't the strongest component I've ever seen!
    Just like adding aftermarket brakes to a car that wasn't designed for them held on with alloy brackets cobbled together in a shed.

    'Bull's-Eye'! Sure makes that top pop! Black bolt head covers would just finish it off.
