Turning the hub mount hole of a Titan rim

Post by Chadsinto510s »

Not sure where this belongs. Thought maybe someone here could help me help a friend in Portland. Anyone in or around the Portland area have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Stupid question: I need to turn the centers on my Titan rims - they're 18" outside diameter. The inner hub hole is only 3.5" and I need it to be 4". I don't want to butcher it myself with a router, but nobody seems to know who does this sort of machine work. Do you know who would have a lathe or mill that could do that?

If you're going to pay to have it done, then machine the hub instead and then you can run any wheels and not have to worry about getting the new wheels machined.

Excellent idea. I wonder why we didn't think of that. Thanks Matt!
