To me it looks weird because of how off centered the hole was drilled. I sent my hub to Buchanan and had them lace it to an 18" just got it back today. Is it just me? Or is this normal

(Rim) Reply #2 - 06/29/11 at 21:08:13 I thin it look wrong, but Id have to let someone who really knows rims to look at it. My opinion is, theres no real reason to have those dimples if youre not gonna land the spoke nipple in it & allow it to sit Up in there & off the tube. I think thats a bad job they did.

(Rim) Reply #4 - 06/30/11 at 02:30:56 If I was drillin on a rim Id be drillin from the side the tire goes on. Seems thatd be the easiest way. A drill bit wouldnt walk outta that dimple from inside it,, but off the outside? Thatd be a bit of a challenge..

(Rim) Reply #8 - 06/30/11 at 09:12:07 Would the length of the spokes have something to do with it? Maybe the spoke was too long to fit on top of the dimple. Still looks wrong though. And for that much moola, it should be puuurrrrfect!

When someone on here says something I like or don't like I give them the courtesy of a PM to see if that's what they meant. If this is normally the way they do it, yours will not be the first question about it. If there is a good reason, they'll tell you. Ford did a survey long ago about customer satisfaction. Satisfied customers told five people about their experience while dissatisfied customers told about 35 people of their experience. Find out if they're wrong, THEN ask them to make it right, THEN if they don't tell your 35 people. Fair enough?
