Three of them are the suicide type, What would it take to use the old rim centers, and weld them to a buggered up 22 1/2" rim? Doing it so it has singles?

I don't do wheels and very rarely trailers.

I wouldn’t use a wheel that’s been welded. Just use the inner if you don’t want to buy tires. If you take the time it takes, it takes less time. --Pat Parelli American by birth; Alaskan by choice. --ironbender

Back in the day everyone was building dune buggies on VW frames. Had to cut VW rims and weld to get wide wheels. Works great. I am retired now so no equipment. That was also before lawyers and whiners. jimjr
