A good machinist can take care of the wheels, I don't think they need to be opened up too much

X2...a good machine shop can grind/mill that hub for you. That's not a big deal at all.

I looked at that wheel some more and contacted the place that was selling them.
The hub is to deep for the wheel and will stick out through the cap. I think i'd have to machine them open more even if they did fit because of the lip in the hub area.



Guess I'll have to keep hunting for a wheel similar to that.

Anyone have wheel ideas for me?

Ok. I guess I should have specified that I don't want to pay $500+/wheel.

I had the same issue with the hubs sticking through on my 3pc wheels when I got them. ID Luxury sent me new center caps for free.

I think BillReilly from RMS runs those wheels on his personal Dart. He'll know what needs to be done, he also has that type of hub. If not Bill, search on FABO.

Shoooood....$500+ for a wheel. If we are talking Forgeline, depending on size, try $1000+?wheel. But, they are well worth it.

500 is cheap for a wheel.
