    rims for wheels business

    rims for wheels business

    Right, and making rims goes beyond a CNC machine (good that you have that taken care of). Rims are either made by casting or forging. For the former, you need to have a mold and a way to melt aluminum. For the latter, you must have a forging press to hammer the aluminum into shape. Both are...

    rims for wheels business

    Manufacturing rims are tough man, unless I am mistaken most of the big niche names like 360 forge and Strassforge all make theirs in house with their own machines, let alone the BBS and WORKS of the world. Quality is everything, so when you outsource cheaply 2 things will happen, you end up...

    Disadvantages for private equity, when you're the investor?

    PEOPLE 
    Are you talking about the securities exchange act of 1934? You can sell equity to investors if you are 1) an equity owner or 2) an executive officer or board member. I am not a lawyer so don't take my word for law, but that's how its done from the various deals I've seen.
