You know those afternoon "How do they make..." shows?

BBS Wheels - Manufacturing & Technology (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq1YyzWS5bw)

They have the usual repetative synth soundtrack and velvety toned "John Laws" voiceover guy you'd expect on a corporate video. But it's interesting to see the processes used to make TE37's and hollow spoke rims etc. When you see some of the mills, robots, tech, etc used you start to appreciate why these wheels are up to $1000 each.
