I made a set of RR wheels out of duce and a half wheels. Basically you
have to remove the center, by drilling out 17 rivets, then press the
center out, turn it around and weld it back in again. Manufacture an
adapter plate with the jeep bolt hole pattern and weld it into the
center hole. There's a picture of our RR jeeps at:
