Its a straight bit with carbide cutters and a ball bearing on the end. That ball bearing will ride on the flat part of the center bore trimming off the lip. The router base will ride on the back of the wheel where it contacts the hub when mounted on the truck (flat square surface)

Yep hand router. Go to your local hardware store and they should have a laminate flush trim bit. Very inexpensive. At the bottom of the bit there is a bearing that rides on the next larger diameter. By riding on the next larger diameter you get the centered round hole.

So you made a template of the proper diameter for the bearing to ride on and it is fastened & centered to the wheel?

Nope, The OEM has 2 different diameters for the H2 wheel. The smaller one needs to be removed for the wheel to fit around the dodge hub. One is used for the bearing on the trim bit to ride on while you machine away the other with the cutter. Check out the pics.
