:blink:

Some of you guys might know that Pegasus 18x8 wheels come in a 65.1 center bore, xc90 are 67.1 2mm difference means these things will not fir unless they get bored out. Since someone said I cant do it myself, I did it myself. I bored out the wheels to 73.1 mm then took a 73.1 to 67.1 hub centric ring and put the pegs on. I Googled how to bore out a wheel, thats where i got the router idea. took all of 40 minutes from start to finish to bore the centers out.

Bought the wheels cheap, they were bent and painted black. Sent them out to get them straightened and repainted a flat black.
Total monies invested under $400 for the set of 4 painted black and straightened. here are the results

Looks great. I'd love a briefing on the router deal on wheel pilot holes.
Love the 3rd xc90 pic. Sort of a junkyard dog vibe to it.

Did you find an affordable source for the steps or did yours come with them? I need to get some for mine.
