I am looking for some steel wheels.
14 x 8 on 4 x 100

I don't know if these are stock wheels widened or if I can purchase these already made.

No pics to post but check website http://www.janteselargies.eu/main.php?category=3&pg=2&stg=1.

It's not in english, so I dont know if this is a company that sells the products or just showing off some cool dubs in Belgium.

If anybody has any input I would really appreciate it. I dont think many in the US are into this but I really like the idea of using my stock center caps on bigger wheels.

There's a company over here that does it. Check out www.wide-wheels.co.uk (http://www.wide-wheels.co.uk) Uber Cool! :D

Just realised you're in the USA but I'm sure you'd be able to get them shipped if need be.

Unfortunately it's not really cost effective to ship the wheels to the UK to have this done and I'm also looking for a 14 inch wheel while I only have 13's on the car.

By the way I did contact that company and hopefully I can find someone here that can do it for less $$.

Really it's quite a simple process if you know somebody that's a good welder, there's even a video on the site of how it's done. So if worst came to worst you could choose the steelydans you like, then have them banded and powder coated. They'd feel that little bit more custom aswell. ;)

I'm not as lucky or as trusting as you as to let myself or one of my friends weld up wheels for me. I guess this type of think isn't really cool in the US.:aargh4:

I'm talking about somebody experienced in a machine shop, not pulling the MIG out the shed and having a go. :biglaugh:
