Another folk craftsman who decided to try his hand at producing alloy wheels deserves our attention. In order to make such disks, he used old junk, which was lying around in his garage, and some other materials.

For the disks, raw materials were needed, they became the ZMZ-402 engine block made of AK4 cast alloy, as well as other engine parts, a cooking furnace, a crucible (might work seamless pipe with boiled bottom), regular charcoal, flasks ( wooden frames to give shape), sifted sand and silicate glue.

First let's mix liquid glass with sand and glue. It is best to use a construction mixer. Then we take a cast from the workpiece, leaving a reserve for turning. We leave the cast to dry for several days. We make a fire, put the crucible on high heat, add more coal and turn on the blower. Liquid aluminum is poured into the mold. When the metal hardens, we beat off the crust, sprues and vents. We send the wheels for turning. Next, we assemble the disk; for this you can use 10 M8 screws with an internal hexagon and 10 M8 nuts with a nylon ring.
