The ralley center was a snug fit so once it was roughly where we wanted it for offset mounted it to the car and used a dial indicator to adjust for run out. Once the runout was acceptable tack weld it double check then fully weld it. Took some time but not very much $$

They don't seem to know how to make a wheel that is round. They do know how to tell the customers to pound salt rather than fix the problem though. Sheldon
