Custom Wheels?
Have any of you had custom wheels made for your cars? If so, who did you go through, what was your experience like, and how are the wheels?
I’m looking at a few overseas suppliers, who are known to make the blanks for big forged wheel companies, and was thinking about having a set of custom wheels made for them, as it’s a fraction of the cost. I saw a g80 brand (I think s58 power) made some wheels specifically for the g80 platform, and is selling them with custom s58 branding. I figure they likely did the same as what I’m describing. |

Like mentioned, I know there are a LOT of us vendors who source their products from these custom manufacturers, get their custom design and brand name on the wheels, then charge a premium. Which is OK, that’s how everything works. In addition, it is confirmed that a lot of the blanks are used by the same large companies as well. |

I have done the blank route with my old Mercedes show car and the only reason I did it is because I knew the car was only moving from the trailer to the show and back into the trailer . I would never trust the blank route with a daily driver . Just my $.02 for what it's worth . |

I assume you ordered blanks then had found someone to finish the machining? As for companies referring to above, any examples? I’d rather be able to source in US to get what I want! |

I understand wanting to save a few bucks on items that are not as safety related but wheels . to me , are a different story . How much are you really going to save by purchasing "blanks" as apposed to just purchasing some inexpensive wheels and get a warranty ?
What is your budget for wheels ? |
