Do you know of wheel company(s) that you select style; then diam, width, bolt pattern, and offset and they build the rim to that spec?
Granted there will likely be some limits to such things as the offset choices you can select from. I know of one company but I am looking for others for additional style choices. Basically I'm looking for 15" for the Datsun roadster so width and offset are parameters that I also need flexibility on. I haven't been able to find a second company that has this offering. Please let me know if you know of a company that can provide this. Thanks, JIm

We had one called Weld wheels that would ...but you signed a a statement that the only thing this car could be used for was car shows and slow driving a automotive engineer has to be the designer of the wheel to have it pass DOT standards

I do see several companies doing this but their wheel diameters typically start at 17”. I only found one wheel style in 15” and I don’t think the choices were adequate for the difference in front and rear that I need; 15” diameter in common widths like 6” and 7”; common offsets. Course there is consideration for wheel hub bore, through-bore and lug nut bore and seat machining. Not that easy to get much wider wheels/tires in rear and match the style in the front. If you’ve done this please let me know what you did. Thanks.

I think you may want to try VTO. Their drop down menu lets you select style, size, pattern, offset etc.

Will take a closer look. Offhand looks promising.GeoffM wrote: Sat Aug 24, 2024 1:30 pm I think you may want to try VTO. Their drop down menu lets you select style, size, pattern, offset etc.
Thanks for the tip
