Built a front wheel with Ganwell carbon rim

Another wheel day (and so on).

A customer entrusted me with a carbon rim from the Ganwell brand.
Ganwell is an original brand of Iwai Shokai,
and the name comes from "gan" (岩 - rock) and "well" (井 - well).
Edit: I received many comments saying that "well" actually refers to the well 井. That does sound more plausible, doesn't it. I see.
Thanks for the comments.
I was truly a frog in a well.

And on a side note, all the company vehicles at their headquarters
have license plates ending in "・1-01,"
making "101" spell out Iwai (岩井).
