just a word off caution. I fliped centres of a set of rims, and now due to the extra leverage it allows the rim to buckle. looking into it since then wish I had'nt.I did it to a set of brand new rims which are a bit thinner steel than say the old roh rims out of austrailia. any new rims will be the new type made in china and have less strength. Been gathering up sets of the old rims now for the next time.
