Title: Source for steel wheel fabricator (east coast)
Post by: EDNY on January 22, 2014, 02:16:00 PM
May wind up just having my wheels made,  looking for steel wheel fabricators on the east coast. 

Looking for OEM looking GM 5 on 4-3/4" wheels that accept hub caps,

(2) 15X8 with 3" backspace
(2) 15x4.5 (or 15X5)

In raw steel..plan to powder coat them myself.

I'll weld anything on a car...but I would have nightmares if I welded my own wheels ;D

Not on the east coast but may be worth looking into.

Thanks...really prefer the stock looking wheels with hub cap nubs.  I'm sure there was a guy in NY or NJ that made them at one time.
