Dude whats with you europeans and your amazing fabrication skills! And no shortage of expensive tools. And I wonder what do you do for a living? You must weld because those look professional.

Definitely watching this build.

got my hubs from the racing store today, very nice piece!


i was to cheap to buy the hole kit..

the hub wouldnt fit into the s6 brake rotor so i had to machine off 7mm on the diameter...





finished with a nice chamfer


perfect



next step is caliper adapters...
