:blink:




Some of you guys might know that Pegasus 18x8 wheels come in a 65.1 center bore, xc90 are 67.1 2mm difference means these things will not fir unless they get bored out. Since someone said I cant do it myself, I did it myself. I bored out the wheels to 73.1 mm then took a 73.1 to 67.1 hub centric ring and put the pegs on. I Googled how to bore out a wheel, thats where i got the router idea. took all of 40 minutes from start to finish to bore the centers out.

Bought the wheels cheap, they were bent and painted black. Sent them out to get them straightened and repainted a flat black.
Total monies invested under $400 for the set of 4 painted black and straightened. here are the results

Why did you have to bore to 73.1 and then reduce down?

I thought drug dealers all bought Audi Q7's?

Good question my friend. Here is the reason why. taking it to 73.1 instead of 67.1 will allow me to
A: Take it down to 67.1 for the xc90
B: Take it down to 65.1 for the C70
C: 73.1 to 55/56/57/59/61/63/65/67 rings are readily available all day long every day!

for $3USD, 67 to 65 rings are special order and this and that. foward thinking plus i did not have the EXACT bearing for my router to take off 1mm(odd number). but did have a bearing that took off 4mm 73-65=8/2 = 4mm

I dont get this reference? In the USA middle class up and coming professionals are seen in Audi Q7's the drug dealers car of choice is a Ford Crown victoria/Chevy impala like one of these cars LOL
