Hummer Rims without re-centering!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72beast · 12-17-2003, 12:35 AM

I have a set of 5 hummer rims that I've been wanting to put on my truck, re-centering them at $125.00 each plus shipping ($600.00 plus) kept them in the garage. Then as I was saving the cash I saw guys loosing the re-centered rims, they would break off or the new centers were so far off that they could not use them. So I built some spacers that lets me put them on and not have to re-center...

Cool.

I know a guy that runs them on dual wheel axles and they seem to work fine. I have seen spacers in wrecking yards that came off the front of a chevy dual setup that look like they would do the same thing. probelm is they are hard to find.

How much do the hummer wheels cost?

You can get the re-centered ones for $200.00 each, but guys have had bad luck with the centers coming off or not on center so the rim is junk, that’s why I made the spacers.
You can find stock hummer rims for $150.00 to $250.00 for a set of 5.
The spacers ran $495.00.
Had to have the 14ff hub turned and then the spacer was fit on it, then on the front I’m going to run DRW Dana 60 hubs…I found a set of DRW for $25.00 as everyone wants the SRW hubs, and most Dana 60 have the DRW hubs on them so they are easy
