Is it possible......
To use a normal angle grinder to cut off the centering ring? How hard is the metal? Can it be done on the car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) A much better solution is to have the back side of your wheels machined to accept the ring, as it's easier to R&R wheels/tires & change flats. Machine like this pic....  . Or get the proper wheels. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
