Fitter turner / anyone with a lathe big enough to hold the rim will just machine some out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Mitsy have massive needs for that stz, almost not worth it if you can score some Sigma steels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I have machined the cast hubs before - easier than the rims in some cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitter turner / anyone with a lathe big enough to hold the rim will just machine some out. yea thats the obvious way, but elite told me not possible( however at the time the steel i had was a much smaller centre bore so there would have been no ring left, not keen on the roughly $50 a wheel it would cost tho yea cheap sigma steels is the go if i can find some cheap enough, as it doesnt really give me the option of using them for drag rims later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Just stick a curved metal file in the vice and spin the wheel on it for a while. Or if you want some exercise, stick the file through the centre hole and wheel it around filing it down as you go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
