Oh yes, I had forgotten about the Ford AA wheels. You are correct. I have a set of the AA centers. The center hole is too small for the PW hubs so it must be enlarged for PW use. I checked out a set of six AA wheels that had been modified and mounted on a FF ambulance. Cracks, cracks, and more cracks. I didn't buy them. I then carefully inspected the set of four unmodified AA wheels that I have and... cracks between the lug holes and the hub hole. Bummer. This kept me from going through the process of making them fit the PW hub. I figured they cracked in stock condition, it'd only be worse with less material in that area. All this considered, I went with the modified Chevy 10 hole wheels.
A friend of mine did produce a set of Ford AA centers welded into Dayton 20" rims and ran them a little bit on a M37, but they're just sitting now.
