This is the new Magnus Walker wheel launched yesterday. They are Fuchs style built by Fifteen52. Their website does not have pricing for these but other wheels from the company start at $999 each. I don't think I will be buying these any time soon but the look cool.

I do like them in black, but they are too rich for my blood!
Could you set up a CNC machine to simply cut out the opening in some Fuchs? They basically look like that's what they are. |

There is a lot of engineering involved in designing a wheel - need to account for structural integrity and anticipated load forces. These wheels are not merely shaved down Fuchs.Could you set up a CNC machine to simply cut out the opening in some Fuchs? They basically look like that's what they are. |
