I sold the last of my rims last week. I still have plates in stock though. Thanks for the compliment.

Yes you can use a plasma to cut out the centers, in fact Josh's (Preacherboy) rims were cut out with plasma. I trued them up on my CNC. If you lay your cut line out, and take your time you could cut it out accurate enough to just clean it up with a grinder. When i cut wheels out for my own...

Heres another link showing how flange nuts are widely used to attach large truck tires. Add up the holding force of the 16 studs comes to 750,000 lbs of force. With 6 studs on the axle you have 300,00 lbs of force holding the assembly to the truck...

The studs are pressed in, and my plates holes are sized the same as the rim to accept pressed in studs. I don't believe its necessary, but i do not argue that it would optimize the assembly.

Ok, for a dose of reality. All manufactured items are made to a tolerance. That is how far from ideal it can be. If anybody is thinking that the wheels on any of their vehicles is somehow running perfect, think again. Bridgestone Commercial Truck Tires Please take the time to read it...

The holes in the plate are smaller than the clearance thru hole in the rim, so it doesn't move a 1/4", but there is some. Tightening the outer nuts to spec, is important. If this is an issue for somebody, than they should swap the studs. This is the same as somebody letting there lugnuts get...

I'm a manufacturer of metal goods. I buy millions of pounds of steel a year. My steel suppliers appreciate my business, so i get pricing very few people can touch. I pass the savings on. These kind of products are what i make every day, i have been doing it for decades.

Yes, i have an ad in the classifieds. $120.00 a plate plus shipping. HEMTT wheel adaptor plates for Deuce and a half - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

I finally got time to make some plates. Some guys were asking about how they bolt up differently. You can remove the outer studs, and press them into the new plate. Assemble the wheel with the plate underneath, and bolt together as normal. This allows you to mount the wheel on the truck, and...
