I've found some ideal 'track' wheels for my Sebring but the centre bore is 73mm and I need 76mm....
Has anyone had a go with a dremel to increase the size? or am I best finding a local machine shop....
Cheers
Gav

And I won't sit down. And I won't shut up. And most of all I will not grow up.

Can be done pretty accurately with a router.
how accurate is down to how well you set up the tooling but I've had pretty good results using to to machine aluminium so far.

Find a local engineer who'll do it for cash in hand. It's a quick and easy job as long as the lathe has a large enough centre height
I'd gladly do it but my lathe only has a 9" centre and the gap piece doesn't allow enough width for the depth of a wheel

If it can be fixed with a hammer, then it must be an electrical fault

Previous owner of my style 5's used a spoon and a hammer on two rims (failed to include this fact in eBay ad) Shocking to look at the craftsmanship. Work ok with inserts tho.
