So...about milling wheels.

Honestly, I think it's about time the cat gets let out of the bag.

Seriously.

A lot of these guys bought wheels from lock and then copied what he did. Part of me thinks that aint so right.

heres a hint...if you have access to a 22 in wheel...any 22in wheel.

Go to your local wheel shop n take some measurements

You have heard it is hard to do and it has to be just so perfect....

Um the guy that started this thread has low pro 22s stretched over 22.5s and if you see the bead seat on a semi wheel it is nothing like a car wheel.

True you have to due a true and square job of it...you can just hit it with a grinder LOL otherwise they would leak and that would suck.

That's what I was going to do when I got that far. Got a friend with a bunch of 22's. His dad has a rambler wagon with 22's on the rear.

All I did was take a 15" wheel that I had sitting here forever and give it to my guy with my 6 24s. I asked him if he could figure it out and he said "no prob." Lets be honest here, if you can have a steel 22.5 and the tire isnt coming off you really dont have to do much to the 22..... Any machinest can figure it out. Jonny (my guy) had a tool cut so all he has to do it chuck up an adaptor, bolt a wheel to it (with the adaptor staying in the machine you dont have to indacate every wheel) and cut it. It takes him about 8 min each to cut them. I dont know why he charges me so much ($75 each) but I cant find anyone else to do it that cheep.


On a side note, has anyone EVER seen a tire come off of a 22.5? I dont mean you think it will or have heard of it I want to know if anyone has seen it. I have seen a LOT of trucks around here with steel wheels now and I have never seen it happen.....
