Source for steel wheel fabricator (east coast)
« 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.

Speedway sells 8" shells if you want to make your own.
Never underestimate the power of a lubricant.

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.

Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

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.
