How awesome would it be to have this done to an OEM honda wheel like the HX or LS Mesh

I don't know how safe it is though

The guy must have high end equipment compared to the average joe. Figure he has a nice lathe to cut the mercedes wheels down. He must have machined the original edge to the perfect tolerance so that it butted up tight to the inner edge of the new lip & barrel. I think that's how he managed to keep everything in round.

end results look great but I think the build thread lacks alot of pictures and details on how much work it actually was!!

and most bead locks are illegal!! at least here where I am they are.

I am pretty sure bead locks are not legal for road use in most states as well. The rims in this thread aren't bead lock though, you would mount the tire the same way you would on any other set of multi-piece rims
