This was just to be a proof of concept, but it seems to work well enough as is to get through 12 rims. That being said, if anyone has an 5 lug upright and hub just sitting around I could borrow, I'd take gladly take it!

HF Bench Grinder with Kustom PVC pulley
HF 8 inch wheel to act as the hub
Bicycle inner tube for a belt
5/8" all thread for a spindle
3" wood screws for added hilarity
