I built a prototype wheel from Weld rims at one time. They are plenty strong to get the job done if you make a good center.

Chris and others, I checked with Weld Racing today and they told me they have nothing for our applications, some were close. 2 interesting things though, a 10 by 4 outer shell was $54 bucks without beadlock. American aluminum must cost a lot less than that Canadian stuff, surprising they can even afford to put their beer in cans anymore! Anyway, Weld also has what they call a direct mount wheel in 10 x 8 for about $85. I could be tempted to get one and cut a center for it out of a piece of 2024 that I have. Would be a pretty quick project with the rotary table on the mill. Anybody have a clue as to the loads a mini sprinter puts on wheels compared to a F500?
