Cutting the "D" in a rim.

I've got some wheel that I drilled the wholes in the center to use on my xmod. My only problem is, I'm not sure how to go about cutting the "D" so that the wheels will fit perfectly over the wheel shafts.
Thanks for any help I can get.
Thanks, that's exactly what I'm lookn' for.
Found it for ya.

I seem to remember a tutorial on modifying after market tires to fit the XMOD. It did deal with melting the plastic but had a good technique to do it. Might want to check the tutorial section.
Thanks for the info B1GDude.
XMODification (at least I think it was XMODification) did a tutorial on using putty to shape in a D-shaft so that other wheels can be used with your XMODS, trying searching around for it because I'm not sure it's posted on here.....
Oh otherwise Chris over at xmodsinternational has a part coming in designed specifically for mounting Mini-Z, Model, etc rims onto an XMOD......
Thanks. But I'm worried that might worp the wheels when I push the shaft through, no.
I'm not sure how you would be able to cut it, but you might be able to get a driveshaft or Gen1 axle stub, heat up the end enough to melt plastic then push the D shaped part through.
