has there ever been 5x12 deep dish wheels ever produced? i am looking to get some deepdish wheels but i dont really want to start cutting my arches. any ideas?

I think it's not so much about the width of the wheel, it's also about the wheel offset.
Deep dish wheels = negative offset = pushes the wheel out further = scrubs the front arch.

Huddersfield advertise theirs as deep dish and also say in the description they do not require body mods:

It's definitely worth checking with someone who already has them fitted though.

It's also worth checking for reviews of Huddersfield's alloys on here too to see what sort of service and quality of alloy you will get.

(My own personal experience was a good one with my 6x12" but there are very mixed reviews).

thanks guys, VERNS PLAYMATE how was your expirience good?

I got my 6x12 revo's from huddersfield.

My experience was good too, no issues, quick delivery wheels are still going strong.

I bought my set from a show so I saw what I was getting before I handed my cash over. The alloys have done me proud up until this winter when salt has started to eat through the lacquer on the rim (I think that's four years I've had them), but this is more my fault for not cleaning them and removing the road and brake dust debris anywhere near enough. I also ordered a spare one separately by phone and it arrived quickly and again in great condition. I had my previous set of alloys from midland wheels and I personally found the quality to be terrible - just pointing out that these are my own views though.

I'd do a search for Huddersfield, the most recent topic about them is here: http://www.theminifo...howtopic=151733

Its all about the offset, the deepdish 5x12's may need arch trimming (80% of the time they catch but only slightly).

Ive recently bought some 5x12 superlights from Huddersfield and my wheels catch the arches
