Those di steel wheels look so cool. I do someday want to also do some disc wheels on my roadster. At the moment I’m making aluminum disc covers to jazz my car up a tad. Here are the templates to get an idea what I’m doing.

I made the spacers for mounting mine. About 7/8-1" thick. Re drilled the holes in the Chevrolet wheels to match the Ford hubs and used the flange plates along with Ford hub bolts. I haven't trimmed off the front ones and rears ended up just right with brake drums attached. Took a while to come up with set of the correct Jaxon rims for them. The 1926/27 and 1928 are different and will not mix and match.

They work perfect! The offset allows you to use Rocky Mountain Brakes.

I like them. Here they are on my speedster. I redrilled the disks to match the T hubs. The disks have a 3” hole through the center, so I made adapters that just slip on the hubs and have a shoulder to fit inside the disk center hole. The adapters are 3/4” thick 6061T6 aluminum. Easy lathe job. They run straight and true. Sorry, I don’t have any close up pictures.

RE the lip for the wheel to center on, I did that also. When the weather allows, I will take photos of them on my 1925 cutdown pickup.
