Default Looking for help identifying this wheel.

Scored this wheel the other day for a shovel chop I'm building. Not too sure what it is, looks cool so I went for it but I'm kind of curious if anyone knows anything about it or what it may be? I think I've seen the style before but I'm not too sure.

My old margarita blender utilized a similarly designed blade. That thing could chop through anything!

Never saw a wheel like that one. It's definitely different! With the welds showing through, I'm guessing someone custom made it.

Tons of shops made custom wheels during the 70's chopper craze..."invaders" seem to be the only ones you see survive...Good luck finding out who made it.

That's it right there...looks just like it.

I was kind of hoping that it was a "custom built" wheel...adds a little to the bike. Appreciate the comment.
