22's we would need at least one more 12# pouring ladle maybe 2? my pot can hold a couple of 15" easy, but still have to cut them to get them into the pot.

Nah, 22"s are for rappers anyway, and I've always been a Rockabilly (Rockabilly-Rickabilly, I'm sure most of you picked up on that a while back)
I was just saying that the proportions looked good enough for a commercial wheel design

So you all don't think I been laying about watching Nascar, heres a couple photos to sorta explain what I been doing all day besides casting a part for a guy.
I got all the gussets in the (to me) outside of the pulley the side thats going to be facing out. I also think I did a hell of a better job on these then I did on the ones yesterday.
I also started putting in the wax fillets have most of it done on this side and only about half to do on the other side. couple photos of that

Looking good David. How much draft do you have on those spokes?

Does that "fillet wax" take paint ? usually paint goes all "Fish eyes" when you try and put it over even the slightest bit of wax.
