My H2 wheel install
My old wheels were the Gray Alum. ones. I stripped them and polished them to give them a brushed looked. I liked those wheels more then the ones I have now.
New wheels are H2 wheels, and if you did not know these DON'T just bolt on, you have open up the center hole.
This little lip is the part that has to come off
I used my router with a Flush bit, and guide bearing.
Placed the guide bearing aginst the wheel, and set the depth
Only way to do it from the back side, that allows the bearing to be on the right area of the wheel and router gets a smooth place to glide
Finished part, almost like I knew what I was doing!
Now for tires, same Stock 315/70/17 off the H2. Its about a 35 and finally a tire that fits the wheel well of the dodge

I did the same thing last week. The router is the way to go. Mine are the new '08 H2s. Very nice!

i think if i powdercoated them- my bumpers would be the only thing holding me back from the whole black/blue look. which would look insane
