Any wood cutting carbide router bit will cut aluminum too. I would recommend using a 1/2" shank bit though. Tried using a trim bit with a 1/4" shank, and bent it. Anyway, use something like this.
Assuming you can get the router inside the wheel, cut a piece of plywood/particle board/plastic with a 4.75" hole. Center it up on one side of the wheel, and route from the other side. The bearing on the bit follows your pattern. It will make a lot of noise, and those aluminum chips are HOT!
