Anyone ever recenter their own hummer rims? Whats involved, just drop them on a flat surface and space the centers up into the rim, weld?

basically yes, but that "recenter" part has to be extremely accurate, I've done it with 20" rims by cutting the center out of stock military rims for a deuce and a half dut that was for a truck running rockwell's with 49x31 industrial tires, it was so rough i don't think you would notice if the centers weren't true. The way HMMVW rims are made i think recentering them without the aid of a machine shop would be difficult

I think the hardest part is getting the old centers cut out.
Then just make a jig maybe using a 14bff hub. If you want to be really accurate you can use a dial indicator to check the runout and adjust it from there which would be a good idea.
