I forget how we did it in 2005, but the hub itself is 3-4 pieces. 2 of them are rims, sandwiched between hub pieces. The hub pieces get modified/replaced.

In 2006-2008, we used a custom adapter to hold the rims in place, and a spacer to keep the sprockets separate. I don't have plans or pictures readily available; ShaneP might have some better ones.

Oh, and using 6 of these wheels on a 6WD is asking for turning problems, even with a dropped center wheel.
