Dimple Die with a wheel bearing race

Use a zip tie or hose clamp around the bearing race in case it shatters (so use at your own risk). Please take safety precautions like a full face shield and protect your body. Maybe the race can be softened by welding beads on the inside. Cheap diy Dimple die metal steel or aluminum using a honda/Acura wheel bearing races. The hole is 1-3/8". The bearings in this video are from the front of a 1997 Acura Integra and the rear of a Honda/Acura with rear disk brakes. Say 1992-2000 civic , 1990 integra.
You need to match the lip diameter of the smaller race with the larger so I cut a ring from a 2.5" washer with a 1-3/4" hole saw.

If one is smaller it will get pushed into the larger race and the metal will stay deformed.
I tried it on .125 (1/8") steel but it seems my 20 ton hydraulic jack has air or a leak as it was losing pressure. Works no problem on .065 aluminum, 16 gauge steel and .032 steel sheet. You could probably find a bigger hub race from a larger vehicle such as an MDX or Pilot but don't have any access to other bearings to try.
You could try to center them by welding a washer with a bolt in the middle perhaps, I eye balled everything in the video.
A cheap alternative for your fabrication projects such as roll cage gussets.
