A turbocharger for an internal combustion engine is provided, where the turbocharger includes a housing, a shaft, a turbine wheel, and a compressor wheel. The shaft is rotatable with respect to the housing and defines a centerline. The turbine wheel is mounted to the shaft and is disposed within the housing. The compressor wheel is also mounted to the shaft and is disposed within the housing. The turbine wheel and/or the compressor wheel has a plurality of blades with leading edges that converge at an apex. The apex is aligned with the centerline. A method of constructing a turbocharger is also provided, where the method includes the step of performing a finishing operation on the turbine wheel and/or the compressor wheel to form an apex where the leading edges of the blades converge.
