Oh yeah... I sooo want these. The right offset, width and made to clear BBK all in a sub 15lbs package that looks fantastic.

Let's see some shots that show off those cool spoke divots, @botbs.

Those indentations... I wonder if it's part of the forging process or just for lightening purposes. Really digging it. It's like seeing nice sideboob cleavage.

TWS puts dimples in the spokes to reduce weight. They have target weights they want to hit and will dimple as necessary without reducing significant strength properties. This is how they keep weight very uniform along their lineup.

And I was hoping they had some special dimple forging on top of the forged wheel. Lol

Ray's Gram Lights 57Extreme. Think rays started doing it first, maybe. Pretty but expensive and heavy.

It has been around for a long time. Rays does the dimpling for an extra fee. 57Xtreme is a high quality cast wheel.

CSG Mike · 04-15-2014, 09:31 PM

I believe BBS actually did the dimpling first

the only dimples i like to see are on the lower back of a woman next to her tramp stamp!
