It's far easier (and less insane) to take your wheels to a machine shop and have them bored to the proper diameter. Grinding down the hubs is like removing bone from the perimeter of your skull to make a tight hat fit. Just adjust the hat.

Agreed. I've had some wheels machined to work with the VX. They'll look much better if machined, but more importantly, they'll be more structurally sound if the final edges are machined rather than grinded to semi-rough edges.Originally Posted by Joe_Black
You may have to drive the VX to the machine shop and take one of the wheels off so a few measurements can be taken, but any machinist worth his/her salt should be able to handle that no problem.
Hats are adjustable? Crap.

I machined a relief in the back side of my 22s to fit the hub, which is the same size as yours. Mine started out at 76mm and ended up at 108mm in diameter and 3/8" in depth, i did all four wheels so i can rotate everywhere. Most machine shops would probibly change around three hours of labor to do this type of work plus tooling because chrome can really tear up tool inserts.
