So I'm considering turning down the hubs on my kx250. I've seen pictures of others hubs while searching this subject but what I haven't seen is anything regarding structural strength. Aftermarket hubs are made out of a solid block of aluminum while turned down are cleaned up cast... I don't think the manufacturer would design the ribs for looks. So has there been any strength testing after the turning process has been done?
You could put your’s on a lathe and use sandpaper from rough to fine and polish them. After that, you could anodized them and they will be shiny where polished, and more of a matte anodized where it’s cast.

Unless you are talking about ribs designed in, like in this picture?
