A bushing is positioned and secured within the plurality of holes of the first disk and has a flange which fits and extends within the lug nut holes of the wheel. The bushing has a bore for insertion of a pin, which is attached to a cutting tool. The second disk is attached to a threaded shaft, which is engagable with the first disk for securing the first disk, second disk, and wheel together. The cutting tool has at least one cutting edges and may have either a handle for a person to manually rotate the cutting tool or a shaft end for attachment to an automatic rotation device.
