I plan to give Lynn a call today. I figured that either the bolt circle was wrong (on the wheel) or the pins were not drilled and tapped parallel to their outer diameters. Sounds like the latter may be the case. I only had about 0.002" or 0.003" removed from the diameters, but I may need to remove more like 0.020" or 0.030" from the looks of it. But at least my outer diameters are now parallel with the inner threads.

The template sounds like a good idea, but when you spend $2400 for a set of wheels, the damn things should fit right out of the box. The fact that Trigo made a template to fix the problem simply reinforces the fact that they know there's something wrong with the design. Why not fix the design in the first place?

I may just "force" the wheel to seat and drive it around for a while in hopes that they'll align themsleves properly before I need to remove the wheel again. They need to put anti-sieze in an aerosol can so I just spray it everywhere.
