H1 wheel recentering and locks

[ryan22re]

any other sources for centers besides usa6x6 or stazworks?

i keep seeing pressed centers, and unpressed centers, whats the difference? i hear that the pressed centers are stronger.

what kind of inserts should i get? pvc rubber steel cut down stock or what?

what about valve stems? can i run rubber stems or do i need steel?

thanks in advance.

Ryan I have the pressed centers from USA 6x6, they are good to go, I guess a few people had problems with the flat inserts warping or bending. Also my rims still have the rubber stems, they work fine, as far as inserts I use the mag run flats, PVC would be nice but just a little to expensive for me

Sell me the H1's, and use the money towards a set of manufactured beadlocks

I think the pressed centers also allow for less backspacing.

exactly how I feel and what I run. If you are just buying the centers, USA 6X6 is ok to deal with. I just dont think I would even have them weld them up for me. I ended up doing it myself and dont have much runout.

how much runout we talking about?

would be street driven until i can get a trailer and truck.

With 38.5x16x16.5 I cant feel anything up to 40 mph. Never had it on the freeway so I couldnt tell you that part. Besides I also have a homemade rear dshaft so that could give me vibes.

I had mine put in at a machine shop, with unbalanced 39s I run 65-70 mph with no problems

I found a 20' stick of pipe for the pvc inserts.....in Texas!! We were going to get a stick and take some orders and cut it on our bandsaw at the shop. The pvc was like $600!! If I can get my hands on some close by I will make some.

My supplier said $600 a stick and $800 for the truck frieght. I said thank you.

hell, the way the phone rep talked, we could get it cut to the exact length, or close enough to face off in the mill at work. so we wouldnt have to buy a whole stick...or maybe get the whole stick cut into those lengths.

if the call comes through, ill post up exacts.
