I generally have a hatred for all steel wheels, but I just saw this on cr.net and I find myself strangely liking them. Just the look, not refering to weight or performance or being a viable wheel option. Only from an aesthetic point of view.

I drove to Dallas and back (9 hours) on Friday to pick these up. Bill Fitzmaurice Titan 48s. They BARELY fit in the back of the truck. It was so close, that I had to remove the corner protectors. Less than 1/4" of clearance to get them into the bed.
These things are crazy. I can't turn them up past a few volts without fear of having the cops called. Gonna take em out to the country and turn them up sometime this week.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with horn-loaded enclosures... A horn couples the driver to the atmosphere much better than a sealed or ported enclosure can. This single 15" folded horn design occupies as much space as a typical dual 18" ported enclosure, but will play at higher volume levels with less harmonic distortion. The extra sensitivity comes at a price though. Folded horns don't have a very flat frequency response, so EQ is required for them to sound good. They also must have a steep highpass filter at the bottom of their effective frequency response, moreso than a typical ported enclosure.
I was going to build some of these, but found them for sale. Next, I'm going to build some Omnitops.
