What are your plans/capability for putting them on? It's on my list of things to do but I feel thwarted by the 20ton plus press requirement.

Joe K, a friend of mine has a 50 ton press (he owns a machine shop) He will swedge the lug bolts and then true the drums up. I only have a 20 ton press, not enough pressure to swedge the bolts to the drum.
