something like this ( poor attempt at a photo shop).

this is from a custom chopper wheel . but I think it would look cool if it was beefed up a little more to make the wheel look more like a real car rim.

I checked with the guy's at Boyd Coddington wheels, they have a wheel that is simmilar to what I would like , here is a picture of the wheel

they can make a set of one-off skull & crossbones wheels for around $800-$1000. each

I dont think I can afford to spend $4,000.+ for a set of 4 wheels.
