Message	The rim of the wheel was machine cut in the center line and a band of metal(rim extension) was then welded onto the rim and the inner section was then welded back on. The rim needed to be machined to get rid of the welds to make smooth and then each wheel was balanced. It cost the guy like $2K though.
