Yea it was no easy jack slap job but i have alot of patience and more time than money.. like most on here...lol
Runout was checked a few different ways like dial indicator, and also a straight edge across the back side of the wheel and a depth gauge from it to where the lug holes are.
I really dont think the manufacturers tolerances are very close since i have mine within .010 and its very noticeable from the wobble of the stock wheel.
The welds on the hoop were cut with a 4" grinding wheel then went back into it with a 4" pipeliner blade. anything that i thought was too deep was welded up after we pressed the center down

i know im pulling this up from the dead but ive been looking at these wheels and noticed that you can order them from summit in a custom backspace for 95 bucks a piece. price jumps for the 6x5.5 which sucks cuz the 5 lug guys are only 2 dollars more for custom backspace
