Thanks Rick! Tell you how I managed to get the standard Porsche wheel center/hub accuracy to 0.01mm tolerance (keep secret loll)

1. Fill/compress the wheel center with clay (or anything that doesn't shrink when drying)
2. Let dry overnight in a dry and warm room
3. Hammer it out from the back/rotor side of the wheel, so to keep the chamfer relief
4. Measure with a precision/metric vernier (caliper?)

If you can do this then I think I can help you out with custom. If not then based on luck bud

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

And that is how one is spending his Chinese New Year eve! Making some cool car parts and drinking Champagne (Chinese version of it, of course )

In fear to destroy this masterpiece's reputation, I'll wait for tomorrow's day light to take much better pictures. No idea how to set a DSLR camera for a dark evening dinner table shot and photoshop just can't fix a drama like that. Oh, I've anodized a blue one also. Both look absolutely majestic.... wait and see!

Total happiness. Look & feel is surprisingly everything I was aiming for; low profile, perfect fit, humble but looking very expansive
