New Wheel Depth and Felt Washer Well

I can't be the only one who noticed that after-market "universal" wheels either don't have felt washer wells or have wells that are too shallow and/or not deep enough. Not to mention that they aren't exactly the right width, so when you tighten them up with the right outside washer you can no longer turn the wheel. Anybody else out there loony enough to build a jig and machine the new wheels to the right depth and to take those lovely felt washers?

If you like that wait till you see the mower. I'm waiting on plastic polish before I post the refurb I did on it. You can get a little inkling from photo #3. Looks new, don't it? :)
