You got me with that weight...it looks a little ricey bot not too bad.
I made hubcentric rims for a set of DP Motorsports wheels as follows:
Inside Diameter 65mm
Oustide Diameter 70.5mm (depends on wheels)
I bought an aluminum pipe section 2.5" ID by .25" wall, then brought it to
a machinist that I know...he put it on his lathe and cut down the OD, lightly
bored the ID, and cut off 4 pieces. The rings were press-fit into the wheels,
so I put each wheel into my oven (about 150F I think, nothing too hot), and
I put the rings in the freezer. Then tapped them in w/ a plastic hammer.
Only thing is, I could have made them looser! After the track
events, the fronts tend to get stuck on the hubs...nothing a good solid kick can't
fix though.
