Re: a problem

Billet means it starts out as a solid block of material , and they carve it into shape of a wheel .

A high dollar process . Makes the part very strong . Aluminum is also very light . Worth the extra change .

Also , this is for a little honda 50 , which makes it more expensive . Remember , these kind of parts aren't something you can buy for any bike .

Re: a problem

I spent more than 500 hundred on my set of billets...and it was worth every penny. Even though they are just 50s you still gota pay to play sometimes.

I was trying to get Ryan to cut some more sets to a while back as well...

Yea but you gotta understand that most rims are casted meaning their is little to no wasted material and they're able to put them out a lot quicker because they're not individually machined, and you don't have to constantly sharpen and replace tools.
