what is the name of the machine that is used to cut and make custom wheels for car?
Straight Up Hip Hop......

I saw in many documentaries on customs car whereby they use this amazing machine to cut custom wheels for car and motorcycle. I'm wondering what is the name of this machine and how much it costs?


What you're looking for is a CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) automatic milling machine. A new one will cost several hundred thousand dollars (US)

Here's more info on CNC machines from Wikipedia...

Screw all those othe brands. Its all about these customizable spinning rims, they color customize your rims by YOUR choice, with an RGB scaler.

These look awesome, and hide your ugly Drum brakes on certain SUVs. Or uncustomized disc brakes.

For performance rims, Falken and Konig make great brand name choices. Also Motegi.

I am having trouble keeping my custom wheels on my car balanced. Is this a common problem with custom wheels?
lowrider

I have noticed a vibration in my steering wheel. It seems to go away once the tires have been rotated and balnced. I have had to have this done about every 1500 miles. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!


Make sure the shop doing the balancing is using the correct style weights for the wheels. Stamped steel wheels use weights that clip onto the rim. Alloy wheels have a thicker rim and usually need self-adhesive weights that stick to the inside of the rim. The clip on the clip-on weight is not big enough and can loosen up and cause the weight to fall off. Also, make sure you check pressure often. Low pressure will wear out your tires much faster.

    I absolutley love the headers, how I've lived without them is beyond me. but the shift points are completly different. It's as if the car falls on it's face between gears. Never did I ask for any of their "improvements". Is this common? Why would they waste their time to do it? The funny thing is that I didn't buy my car their and the service manager has given me tips while at the track I race at. So much for my custom tune, it won't load. My cal code is 68004302ad and isn't supported. It asks if I want to downgrade to "AC" in order to continue. Should I select agree? What does this sh!t mean? All I want is to have it the way it was before the dicked with it. Any advice is...

    SEMA 2009: Chevy Unveils Four Custom Camaros, Including Twin-Turbo ...

    Powered by a twin-turbocharged version of the 3.6L direct injected V-6 that is standard in Camaro LS and LT models, Leno’s Camaro blends high performance with surprising efficiency in a racing-ready package. A pair of Turbonetics T-3 turbochargers blows through a custom air-to-air intercooler, force-feeding the engine about seven pounds of boost and lifting its horsepower level to about 425. That’s about 40 percent greater than stock and in normal driving (when the turbochargers aren’t making boost), there’s virtually no penalty in fuel economy over the non-turbocharged 3.6L engine.

    “Jay’s Camaro offers style, performance and efficiency in a big way,” said Dewar. “It delivers the power of a Camaro SS on demand, but with the fuel economy of a V-6.”
