How do you make them? Bolts through the rims welded in? They look pretty cool, very showy. Looke great on that lowered.

Cleaned the rims with mineral spirits,

Submerge in paint stripper, (the dull look),

Drilled holes through the rims and a castle nut in the center,(under the washer)

Polish the rims before adding the spokes.

The spokes are made from brazing rod, braze the drilled holes shut to each side. No air leaks.

Add sealer to each rim,to the outside so it stays shiney.

All done.
