Still not certain on the tyre situation, going to have a look at my options.
It's something I thought about, I'd have to generate everything using CNC as all the manual machines I have access to only have Y axis automatic feed, so the flanges would be difficult to turn to a decent finish, this means it would take a lot of time and I don't have much access to these machines for non work related stuff.
Having said that, thanks for putting me back on that track, definitely going to look into it tomorrow to see if it's possible

Cool, often wondered how you held the two ends of the rubber together.
To get around the comically expensive huge billet of ally, can you make a 3 piece hub and press or bolt the 3 pieces together? Could probably then do the flanges on a rotary table on a mill.
