Does anyone know of any shops who do custom steelies in Northern California (Bay Area)

This is the look I want, cheap Stock but custom. Steelies with a lip and stretch.


So underated but dope.





on a civic.

 

very cool idea!

 

msot the time its just a stock hoop flipped around 180 so the backspacing becomes a big lip. even my stock 14x5s would look like that if i flipped them. i want to put my centers into some wider 14" hoops. i have 3 spare stock design wheels now so ill experiment soon.

 

I like that look a lot.

 

Ok for those who are interested.
I found Stockton Wheels which is closest to me, they will do it. Also I ran into a guy who works for Les Schwab (sp) they can order custom steelies as well through Allied Wheel Components one down side to these, they're not hub centric. Theres (on line) Diamond Racing they also do custom steelies.

These all range between 100-150 bucks ea.

The most common method is using your own stock steelies and cutting out the centers and welding a new barrow to them. I talked to a guy on line who did this and it cost him about 60 bucks ea.

I want to do 15X8 or 16X8 I need some lip in my life. What would be the proper offset/ backspacing etc. with a 2/3 in drop or so?

 

how big of a steelie can they custom make???

i really want to run 22" steelies on my hilux...

 

Now that's "Bootleg" I love the steelie look,.

 

I was thinking of buying one of these to kinda get that hot rod look,

but I was thinking of putting beauty rings on my steelies.


The Civic looks pretty cool!

 

My brother is running 20" Dodge spare steelies as the wheels on his 52 Chevy pickup. Pretty dope, downside....5x5.5" boltpattern.

You can get 18" steelies from a dodge magnum I think that fit and look awesome on yotas.

I've also seen people cut the front off of one rim in front of the center. Then cut the backside off another wheel and weld the backside as the new front side. This gives you a wider wheel with deeper offset. Tip---Cut them on a Lathe and get them Tig'd.

 

Looks like Diamond Racing will go up 18' you can get them anyway you wish.

i wanna find some of the magnum spares

 

I have regular Magnum/Charger 18's on mine right now and they fit pretty well, just need wider lugs cause the wholes are bigger.

 

I considered widened steelies a longg time ago. nothing new, but its sick....

I plan to stretch 14x6 to at least 14x8.5.

deep ass lip hidden by my OEM hub cap

 

If anybody has info on what came with wider 14s for swapping hoops tell me. I know s19s had 14x6s. Haven't found a common wider yet. I don't think I could run wider than that up front. 16x7s used to hit my control arms. Out back I was like 14x7 or 7.5. Nothing crazy.

 

these are the steelies ive wanted for a long time.scroll down a little on the link......

I've seen that truck on SSM, the wheels do look good.

I found an old set of factory steelies at a junk yard I'm gonna try and pick up tomorrow or saturday. The center cap has the old "T" logo on them.

 

That actually looks pretty cool! As long as you don't put wheel covers on it'll look b****en!

 

Does anyone know any shops in SoCal that will do this?

I have some stock steelies in the garage.

 

okay. new plan. finding short and wide 14s sucks balls. sooo...im gonna find some 15s i like. i need 15x6s and 15x7.5s. with a 195/55/15 and 225/50/15 the tires will be a smidge under 24" tall. which will keep me from having to cut into the jap bed bed rail area. and make doing the front easier. i decided tonight (dumbassly after selling the bags and valves i had) im not gonna bag my dodge yet, but am gonna bag my 78 yota. so, i measured it all out and have a game plan. itll be ball valves and old school.

 

god damnit. its gonna take like a 6" backspace to tuck those rears. lol. nobody believes me when i say that the 78 and older trucks are effin NARROW.

and i have the narrowest toyota axle i know of. maybe the older trucks had a narrower one. but i doubt it. i could use a 4 lug 8" toyota axle if i find one under 53" drum to drum. ugh. damn trucks.
