Are these custom or made by chaput?

DAMN! I want some..

I feel like I have seen these before, and they were two flywheels trimmed to sideset and somehow stuck together.

Or my mind could be making that up.

Its two modded flywheels glued together.

Damn son.
You know how they ride?

I need these. Now. Chaput make these or I will send you hate mail. I never thought I would say that.

haha those look like a hell of a ride. so much thane though, I'm afraid so much might deaden the ride.

your going to be looking at the same issue with centrax too, at the end of the day i think they might be the next step up interms of having mountains of grip but still being able to control slides easily (just saying i tend to get bucked around when my big zigs drift) these might solve that problem by letting you drift with out that massive lurching hook up you get with wheels on a wide contact patch. CHAPULT MAKE A MOULD LIKE THIS, EXCEPT NO GROVES

what I want to know is where do you get an axle long enough to go through four bearings...?

you could maybe cut the bearing housing off the randal pro comps

The lip shape would make the slide like buddah, but the sheer amount of contact patch would make it decently grippy. With so much contact, you'd probably have to get to decent speeds to make this slide well. I would order a pair to try 'em out. This makes me miss my flywheels, which are somewhere at the bottom of some river. Those flys were so wonderfully drifty.

Wonder how these spec up to Nersh wheels.

Could you eliminate/reduce the number of bearings that this wheel requires by making it off set? not sure how it would be done, just wondering. 4 bearings per wheel would seem like lotsa maintenance and make finding axles a pain. You could probably drill out the middle of the wheel core (spokes and bearing emplacements) for one wheel, leaving a doughnut of thane and the outer core, and glue/fuse them that way....
