    Just get some standard external thread lugs and use the centers off of newer 2500 rims.

    +1 on what tanz said...that looks SICK



    but i'm calling bs on the mothers ball. I tried one with my old mickey rims, when they were like 6 months old. After 2 hrs, I gave up and did the rest by hand in half the time.

    These welds were pretty rough after winter. I ended up sanding them down with 400, 800, 1000, 1200 wetsand and polishing. Still need some work, but they shine good enough. I'm tempted to just spray clear on them next time, HATE polishing wheels.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    If your rims are really bad just wet sand them first, and then polish them with a rag and cream. They will come brand new.
