the blank would prolly be styrofoam right?
Hmm the way I was thinking it would be constructed would start as a normal wheel with a deep section, drill holes onto the side of the rim on both side (16 on each side if it's a 32 spoke wheel), and then make the CFRP sheets. Drill holes in the CFRP accordingly, remove spokes, and then rivet on the cfrp.
