Yes, you can but that is not how I made that Custom M7.

If you want to do it the way you described then you would need to:

1) find an outer that will fit your center and if it doesnt you need to...
2) machine the inner circle to fit the face of your wheels mounting points and....
3) you may need to fill in the old holes then drill in new holes to accommodate for the center and do all this while still keeping the wheel true and balanced.

well opossum you would be right if the wheel was 3 peices. boostin b20 if you had a 2 peice wheel you have the barrel and the face. Which means you would have to find a entirely new barrel to put the face on which is very hard to find. On the plus side with a 2 peice depending on the wheel you can flip the face and use the inner side of the barrel to as the outer if that makes sense. if you did have a 3 peice you can find a out lip with the same amount of holes and seam seal the wheel and bolt it together
