View Full Version : Konig Rim Design
Hello , back in the game with something different this time. This rim design was done for a contest . Ground up design from scratch, I’ve incorporated a 3 piece rim composition, with the spokes attach to the rim barrel, combined with inner polished black center spokes attached that bolt onto to the brake rotor. Let me know your critics/opinions, and good luck to all who entered.

Can you please either link to the large render via a thumbnail as with the first image, or use the attachement system for images wider than 800 pixels.
Very nice photoshop skills, and a nice design. The only thing I would criticise is that the "far" spoke seems to have a concave curve to it, as opposed to the other convex spokes.

Very nice design but one small bolt is definitely inadequate to connect rim's arm with the rest.

Technicaly the black spoke is part of the rim, the bolt doesnt hold it down in place...thanks for comments

I was thinking about the bolt as in the attached picture. I'm afraid it would break easily in conditions that sports car suffer. Or maybe it's a valve? :P
