Machine time (I will have to think about how much that will cost and I probably won't know until we have it programmed and modeled.

material costs--depend on the size of the rim. Big wide rims are expensive billets.

shipping to your door--probably $25-$35/rim in the US.

Another thing, we could probably make this babies a TON cheaper if we use wheel hats and just billet the centers. But if you guys want billet everything, then what the hay, I'll throw in the programming for either entire billet or just the billet centers.

I would kill for Sunburst's.... Hats and centers would be fine by me...Hell, I will send you my compomotives and you can make sunburst centers to interchange with the fia centers that are in there. I know there are a bunch of Compomotives out there that people may be willing to retrofit given the chance.

Aside from the Sunbursts I have to say...as a mechanical engineer , I am continually stunned and appalled at what fine work you and your brothers do out there. That Chassis has been haunting my dreams for days now. Bravo!!
