I used TruDesign in Colorado for mine. Lindsey in Oklahoma is another source. I went with TruDesign based on several factors,...Customer service was excellent...he worked with me to get the perfect back spacing for the look I was after...he also works with 7s instead of just 6s...when using 7s you get the little angled portion that attaches to the centers...just an appearance thing to me.,,TruDesign also powdercoats all his centers to protect them from the elements. There are no spacers used on mine. I went with 17X8 fronts and 17X9.5 rears....11s are also available...

I thought you had the centers.....I got my doner wheels here as damaged 7'' Fuchs for less than $100 each (light curb rash on rims no damage to centers)

Kodiak and Bogart Racing wheels sell wheel "halves", but I don't know about wheel "wholes". Are you sure they're not 3 piece wheels? It's been several years since I've bought them and they were $160 per half ($320 per wheel) back then.

I have several sets of three piece and two piece wheels. I dont have the right offset and want to ditch the spacers. I was thinking i would just weld a center in the barrel. I am not sure bbs or other halves will fit any of the wheels i have, I know one of the sets have a true 18 inch center.
I am not real fund of all the welding and plating true design does. I have been working with wheels a long time and something about their process with all the plating is not for me, but they do look nice. and i am not disrespecting your wheels. Kevin |
