been playing with metal again

with the high cost of tire fitment in my neighborhood, $120 with tire off, I decided to copy some pieces I've seen here and elsewhere on the web, all seem to do the job they were intended for. Thanks for the suggestions and pics.

$120 per tire w/ the tire off?! Where's a flamethrower when you need one? :

sorry, that was $120 for both, but even that seemed kinda steep to me, am currently finishing front stand and starting radiator guard, my best benny is a key to the shop and access to free material

the locks are 5/8 id tubing- tapped for set screws, welded to large washers and the collets are hard urethane I cut out with a hole saw and beveled on the lathe.
