penta242gt I cut the centers out got a fitter at work to machine thr center bore to 65.1mm and I will supply the hoops then get a rim place to weld them
Rob Raebird;14744 wrote@rob are you building them yourself or getting a shop to do it? Doing it myself..... Didn't get to them over the weekend though... try again this weekend.
Rob I use a stub axle and hub attached to a bench and a dial indicator. Also an old bubble style static wheel balancer to help get balance close. Haven't had any problems with balance when put on a dynamic balancer afterwards.

Rob yeah, he has machined out the centre hole in the rim to allow it to fit over the standard 65.1mm volvo hub. the wheels were originally designed to fit over a 63.5mm hub.

deleted_user_160 believe it or not, i just measured my 17" steelies, hub hole. one is 63.5mm the other 65.5mm, both are different center offsets.
deleted_user_160 Yeah space savers. Even the holes around the face (like interceptors) are different sizes between the two. Including the offset. Centre pressing is different. (Not the barrel offset) so I need to match one of each to have two pair.
