Costs so far ..The Weld Racing rim shells in a 10x4 are between $43 and 
$50 depending
where you get them. I bought mine from Speedway Motors, $48.95 ea. 
ordered on Monday and
got em Wednesday. In a earlier post I included a link with a photo of 
the bead seat
area with the rolled outer edge, I think this edge treatment will be a 
good thing....time will tell.
I only had 2024 in 1 inch thick sections, not wanting to waste that much 
material I purchased
2 pieces of 6013- T651   8x8x1/2 they were $41.34 each retail. I've got 
dash 4 "jet" nuts coming
out my ears but would guess the price at maybe  20 cents ea. Not sure if 
I want to use
"button" heads or AN hex heads for bolts.
As for time, the first center took me almost 2 hours ( manual mill no 
CNC and I'm NOT
a machinist) I'm guessing the second one will take about 1 hour to do, 
got most of
it done in about 30 minutes last night.
When I'm done I'll post up a few fresh photos. The nice thing for me will be
good cheap availability of the wheel shells. I'll give you a completed 
weight
when they are all done, I know the centers are a little heavier than 
necessary,
I'm not an engineer so I need a little overkill on projects. These 
should finish
out as a 8.375 in  wide wheel ( just under the 8.5 in class limit )
