Easy solution to making your own foams. Great for carpet!! Concrete is a lil hard on em.
Picked up some grips from a couple work out sets. Initially Sports Authority and also Walmart.

Cut them down and formed them on a drill press.

Our 1st blacks where small, a lil too small when I added them to HR aluminum wheels.

Found some bike handle grips and was able to go up a little to an atomic wheel.

Unfortunately we also killed the "D" in 3 sets of rears doing so. Atomics are more fragile to work with for sure.
Here I used a boot to mold the larger black foams on to my HR wheels.

I do have a few extra sets to sell for those with out a drill press or think its too much work. Im selling for 6.00 for a set of 2 (rear or front). Shoot me a PM or email me me for details.
