REAL custom wheel possibility?
 
I guess this is more a question to vendors: What are the possibilities of getting real custom wheels fabricated?

Let me elaborate. I'm an industrial designer and well versed in CAD and solid modelling. If I came up with a wheel design what are the chances that I can get a one off fabricated? Something so that my car is truly unique?

And how many arms and legs would it cost?

Is there any company that is currently offering this service at all?

Yes you can, around $25k for the set

:iagree: you don't want your super baller 25K USD$ wheels falling apart after you take a turn at 35mph

Lol, if it's really $25k i'd rather just throw it all at perf parts than a set of custom rims. I mean... I'm not reinventing the wheel here. =P

you should. For $25k, the wheel better be square.
