nope but seen it done on my dads old drag truck .it used a old milk truck rear end and that is how you did it if you wanted rims . you realy do not need a lathe but would be nice .a old axle that you could cut down so you could mount it on a table so you could make a turn table to tune in the run out .a front wheel drive hub would work great if you can get a bolt patten for your rim
