CNC milling some Eagle 5 spoke 1 ton dually Bud rims, making the spokes a little more profiled for my "1 ton dually" 1929 Chevy street rod.

  • could you do some some semi wheels with this?

  • @mzdamtr

    A whole new set of fixtures would have to be made to do a different set of rims...a little more than I would want to get into, sorry

  • would that weaken the rim at all?

  • @fixier9519

    It doesn't weaken it, it simply changes the load rating. These rims were designed with a load rating of 25,000 pounds, which would be way overkill for my truck which shouldn't even break 3000 pounds.

    They should easily be able to handle 10,000 pounds the way they are now, the spokes are still thicker than most aftermarket rims for pickup trucks.

  • This is a great Video - We are the TurboCAD Distributor in Australia

    Do you mind if I use this in an email Promo that I will sending out to the CAD database? I have been waiting for someone to do something like this.

  • nice job!!

  • @MACcKERM

    I used the 6" by 16" Eagle Alloys #034 rim with some 215/50-16 tires (used tires to set my truck up with) , if you were actually using this rim on a 1 ton dually and were planning on pulling a 24,000 pound trailer with it you probably wouldn't want to cut them down, since my street rod is not going to be used to haul that much weight I wanted the look with a little more style.

  • looks nice i like the after pic, wat size rim and tire.
