The two cone-shaped risers on the sides of the wheel will feed metal into the rims, the spokes, and the center hub during solidification.

• The molten metal is gated into the  two risers which feed into the rims of the casting.

• The risers will also act as heat reservoirs to keep the rim and spokes molten as the center hub solidifies. 

• The risers can also be easily cut from the rim, with reduced grinding and finishing at the cut-off points.
