H1 Re-centered wheels

[Stouttrout]

Let know how they work. It is a hell of deal. Hopefully they are more exact.

I will have to recenter them so I'm looking into finding some good centers that are 5X5. I would like to avoid adapters. I'll post some pics up in the build thread when I start.

The only true way I believe to do it is use 3/8 plate and turn it down.

the 2 local machine shops i talked to about doing that both told me the original wheel parts where too flimsy to clamp properly. and they couldn't use any of the plasma cut holes since they were all ragged.

mine are close enough for a my trail truck. it'll do 55 once the boggers are warmed up. but half the lug nuts are loose after every trail weekend.

I had mine recentered locally in 2008 with pressed centers and rock rings and they run very true. Previously with 39 inch TSLs and now with 42 inch Iroks I can cruise at 70 with no issues and my lug nuts never come loose.

Care to share who did the work?

Does Dave do recentering?

I had a fab shop in South Houston do them but it is no longer in business.

Yes Dave can do them. I actually have a spare set I am going to have him weld up once I get them blasted.

The way I have done it was to cut disc like you would a spacer out of 1/4" and stitch weld them on the back of the center,I have my friend with an 18" lathe true the disc.he clamps them on the back of the rim and turns it through the hole with a jig he made.

Do you cut out the original Center?

Not sure what your asking but the disc I am referring to is for machining the wheel true without taking any matterial of the wheel center itself.
