WOW! Nice! Did you do those on a Bridgeport with a rotary table, or CNC? I forgot what you said you were doing. I'm looking for a good reason to buy a rotary table. I made some really cheesey centers for a set of wheels for my golf cart using some old somewhat round wheel shells. Didn't have anything good to cut it with, so I used a router with a circle cutter jig. Kind of scary spinning a 1/2" router bit in 1/2" aluminum (in many multiple passes, of course).
If I remember right, my Kodiaks are only sealed with a silicone adhesive. The center mounts to the back side of the two shells, not between them. Use some goop to fill the radius left between the wheel shells and smear / press it in with your finger.

Not convinced o-ring adds much. If they leak with just sealant it would be easy to machine a slot for the o-ring.
