just finished the prototype centre in ally needs a little adjustment to the measurements to the holding bump its good from a fitment point but is slightly loose once in the wheel so next one should be perfect the picture makes it look parallel sided but it is tapered as per the original,the finish is just off the tool so easily polished anodised what you want.

just a word or two about the wheel centres, the first one i am making manually but will be transferred to cnc for the production run, they fit nicely have to tap them into place the top is nice and thick so can be tapped out again easily, i have tapped the prototype in and out about ten times with no fracturing or bending of the lugs so well pleased with the material choice it can be anodised or chromed but is fairly resistant to corrosion as well, will post the finished article some time next week if time allows.
