Hi Carl, can you de 'one off' designs? or if someone were to have access to a cnc, would it be possible to make differenr centres and have you fit them to a rim?
Just bashing a few ideas around at the mo.... nothing concrete yet..

EDIT... also, can you make standard 10" steelies wider?

As these wheels are custom made would you be able to make a set 10" ones that fit over the 8.4" disc brakes? You know similar to the Jap import ones that minispeed are selling

i do produce a 10" wheel that will fit to a standard mini 8.4" brake setup, not the vented setup. they do use a shallow inner rim so it does not go over the caliper but stops short of hitting it, available in 5 and 6" widths, the 6" has nearly 50mm neg offset though, so best stick to 5" with circa 25mm neg offset,

the ones at th top of the thread are 13" so will fit over most brakes,


regards carl

Hi carl, have you looked into whether the common 7x13" minilight rim can be converted. i undertstand that it is dependant on the amount of meat around the edges? i have a set going spare and i need to loose weight from the wheels, esp at the front to counter the c20xe lump

this is the wheel in question:-
