I just picked up some wheels and need to bore the center, anybody have any good ways of doing it besides a machine shop, their steel by the way, and other than a router thanks

Look on youtube. Search wheel bore.
Escalade wheel bore, etc. A guy has some good how to videos ...parts needed etc. Its really easy with the right router and bit. Honestly. Goodluck

i read this on another site but have never tried it or know anyone whose tried it. but you can take a hole saw that fits the original hole in the wheel the stick that hole saw inside a larger one that way the smaller one rides on the inside of the bore keeping it somewhat straight while the larger one cuts.
