How much more offset do you want???Quote:

EDIT Summerfield engineering (race engineering DO flip the centres and also charge the earth) who did a set for me don't flip the centres - instead they turn down the lip on their lathe so they can move it back further.
Well did a little today..

The guy who did the IIA rims was just a backyard guy who built speedway cars. He cut the welds out with an oxy (which actually cuts into the rim bands) then knocked the centres out and ground everything smooth. To set them up straight before welding he just uses a hub on a spindle, and a simple run out indicator (a lump of steel will do for that), then welds them up with a MIG.
Because he cuts through the bands the rims can leak if there are pinholes in his welds, but I had my rims galvanised which fixes that.
The 110 rims were done by Summerfield Eng in Perth - who only charged $40+GST! per rim. They use a lathe to cut the welds off which is much neater, but I don't like the fact that they machine the centre down, or that they use one continuous weld (it is easier for them and easier to balance, but not good for crack propagation). However, the 110 rims have cone the CSR, gibb, kimberley, etc and are fine.
Well gave the engine mounts a second coat today also pulled the bump stops off the extensions & painted them..
