Thanks Kenny. They're actually cut centers that didn't pass quality control for whatever reason.

Interesting - - so now you have me thinking....

Are they all one lug pattern? -- ie: any with 5X4.5" and 5X4.75" both? Doubtfull, but I thought I would ask.

Also, any scrap/damaged inner and outer hoops? Are all of these centers for 2 piece welded or 3 piece?

I'm envisioning a 3 pc center and an inner and outer hoop (of narrower width than would be needed) that I could then space out on either side of the center to get a good measurement for fitup..... that made sense in my head, but not sure it will to anyone else.

You're going 100 MPH, Brandon! Wow! We can throw the centers back in the CNC and drill a 2nd lug pattern for you but they're all 2 piece.

We can however make 3 piece in any of our wheels when it's time to put the good stuff on but for the sake of this offer, these are all 2 piece.

Yeah - sorry, My mind started to wander (at 100mph as it tends to do).

These could be a very cool tool though. I'll have to think about how soon I would need to use them though. I'm sure some of the shops will gobble these up.

Grab a couple centers and wrap some heavy posterboard around it - tada - instant adjustable barrel. Or a bandsaw/cut off wheel will make one a 2pc into a three piece real quick (HA!) Tack on some sliders to the cut barrel and make a cheapo- cool width/backspacing tool. Just throwing that out there. (not that I've thought about how to get my spacing right or anything)

Hey Jay, you have a 19" blem Rated-X laying around??? This may convince me to go 19s on the rear! Was talking with Justin from Driver's and he had a nice combo picked out for me along the lines you suggested.

You still have any of these left ? I was thinking 18 possibly 19 if you have them. Thanks Matt.
