Nice.
I work a small metal lathe at home building model steam engines. I can appreciate the machine work that went into those "chunks of metal". Even if it was CAD & CNC.

I hope so too, cause that would be insanely expensive if they didn't.

I wonder if I could get a set of the one's on the right in the second pick with a six lug pattern?

They do recycle the excess waste. Thats a great display to show how the higher end wheels are made and why they cost what they do.
