Pics of some fabrication from today.

A minimalist approach to a Hummer Rock ring..

Hummer wheel recentered, 8x6.5" on 3.5" Backspace....

Weld detail....

A shot of the assembly...

And one more of the rear side. Some more welding...

As soon as I get some issues with the website straightened out i'll put these on there somewhere.

There are certainly cheaper ways to recenter a hummer wheel than our method. For our centers we need the wheels here at the shop. All fixture welded. The shipping is not the nicest but I think the end product is. Yes, I'm biased.

That may be just a bit too far. How long have you been welding?


Color scheme should make 'em pop a bit and should look good on the website, but better yet, the load rating is kinda insane. We modeled them once upon a time and it was just ridiculous.

What do you think the DD ride would be like? Compared to a pressed center?

We've done some runout comparisons, these vs. factory wheels, brand new wheels and so on. These come out very accurate comparatively.

That being said, a bent wheel we can do some work to straighten things out. If its too severe it won't fit our fixture. Something to keep in mind.

One customer has spoke of ride quality and said he couldn't tell the differnce in these any other wheel. This is the only customer I know of that regularly drives on the road.
