Hi Slowy,

The rims are alloy. They are a 3 piece design. The 2 rim halves are spun from aluminium sheet. It's a neat machine to watch when they are being made.

The ring of bolts run through the 2 rim halves and the wheel center and clamp the whole thing together. Theres a bead of silicon sealer run round between the rim halves to seal everything. I also got my rim halves welded together for a bit of extra strength.

Cheers
