Re: would you buy......
I would buy CNC machined rims. But it gets expensive quickly. Do you have access to a CNC machine as well as a lathe?

I would depending on several factors like style of wheel, size of wheel, and of course price.
Would you size the rims to fit popular tires like Aoshima and Fujimi? Keep us posted!!!!

Re: would you buy......
I have talked to machinists, and work with them also. For a rim that size using a normal CNC mill will cost a couple hundred bucks. Since new tools will have to be machined thats what hikes the price. But if you can find some body with a small CNC mill it could be a lot less. What material will be used to machine? 4040 or 2049?
