Reply to "NEW Mangusta Wheel by Group 4 Wheels"

Jonathan,
The presentation is very nice and the wheels look very good. It is the subtleties and the major theme that make the Mangusta wheelsso perfect for the car as the originals have a "hand made look". The unusual aesthetic part of the original is the I-Beam spoke. Also, as someone mentioned, the original car had deep dish wheels that had a large offset and were great looking, better than the final production wheel.
Having said that. Your wheels can be improved significantly in the spoke area from my viewpoint as a Mangusta purist. The blade on the I-Beam spoke is too wide, the section could be tapered from the base and rolled off at the end on both sides. This would also make it look narrower, like the original. If you executed it like the prototype wheel with a large filet as it blends with the rim it would look fantastic. This could be done on all sizes.
Since you are doing this in CAD, can you try what I have described as a comparison to what you have?
