              Lathe comes complete with a milling attachment, meaning jobs like that would be no problem Tom.
              Although I'm not sure you will like my hourly rate.

                    Thanks to SportoEvans I have these Avons now mounted on my 951 wheels.
                    A fair bit of frigging around to get the wheels the way I needed them, including welding up the secondary valve hole (as their original purpose is as 944 Turbo Space Saver spare wheels) and then re cutting the lug seat @ 60deg angle to suit the titanium lug nuts.
                    Also worth mentioning that these wheels will not take a rubber tubeless type valve but require a motorcycle style tubelesss valve.
                    I think the 185/70 profile sits nicely on the 5.5" rim.
