Understanding Size options

HT Size - this 6-digit number designates a specific brand/model rim that we have scanned or a created option
ID Top - First 3 digits, dimension of the ID top in thousandths of an inch, measured from the very top point of the Rim
ID Bottom - Second 3 digits, measured at the very bottom diameter of the Rim where it meets the Cup
Rim OD Shape - the outside curve shape which is often characteristic of a specific brand, W = wider version of original size

Custom Order Options
You are welcome to create your own sizes. It is possible to start with features from one size and combine them with another size within the Rim, Cup, Throat and Backbore. We recommend matching diameters between each component for best results. All custom orders are individually designed and machined, which requires a minimum of 2 weeks to produce before plating.
