Anyone know where I can get a set of these 315 take off's? I am in Northern Maryland and am willing to drive a couple of hundred miles or so for pick up. I am in need of tires and figure I might be able to get a new set of the takes offs mounted and balanced with new tires for about the same price as just the new tires??
Not alot of yuppies around my way buying new H2's and swapping to 24"s, so I don't know how far I'm going to get here (but I figured it might be worth a try)
If anyone can lead me in the right direction I would be greatful!!

 

call hummer of charlotte. 2 of my buddies have gotten them from there. 550 buck. rims/tires new

 

Hey guys
Do the H2 wheels bolt right on, or do you have to mod them to fit?

 

You have to mod the center hole from 4.50" to 4.77". I used a 4.75" holesaw. If you search using the search control at the bottom of every page, you'll find 120 results. I suggest reading some of the following posts for more information:

I've also seen the posts on the Hole Saw method, then saw where people where dumping on that idea because of the "Hub-Centric" theroy. It has me a bit scared when I thought about it myself, basically saying that the rims aren't held on by the lugs, but the hub itself, (the outer section that fits like a glove to the rim).
Is it that critical, or is it cool to use the hole saw method? It makes a difference to me, cause I really would rather not get into paying to dismount the new tires to have the rims machined, then re-mounting.

 

Dang dude.. thats like gettin all four tires free and payin for the rims alone!! id do it just for the 315's!

If all else fails try ebay.. he he he he

My thoughts exactly.............Since I'm in need of new tires (2 of mine are OEM's with around 63K on em). Might as well get a set of rims too huh? The Michelins are going to run me around 6-7 Bills anyway. (if I were to go with them)
I hope there isn't 250 of us on the phone to Charlotte Monday morning.......

 

I've sled pulled with mine that are hole-sawed. They fit tighter around the hub than the stock Dodge wheels and I don't see any stress fractures in the hub hole itself. Plus, the front hub has only about 1/8" of protrusion from the rotor surface, I really don't think they're hub centric since the wheel's ~1/2" thick.

So I guess there is no sense in going the machine shop route if I don't have to huh? Any special hole saw used for this or just a 4 3/4'' with the slop factor to get to 4.77"?

 

The 4.75" holesaw will jump around in the hole. Lightly sand the wheels (I used 80 grit) and you're done.
