Where to go for custom fitted rims

I am looking for a website or phone number to be able to browse a selection of wheels and be able to order custom fit wheels. Most places i call when i ask for 17x9 or 17x10 they think i am crazy, and when I ask about concave wheels they have no clue what im talking about. so anyone have good links or contacts?

i want to go -

17x9 up front and 17x10 in the rear, with the rear wheel concaved.

thanks in advance i pretty much spent all day looking and calling around before this post.

You can't go wrong with any of he above three mentioned, I absolutely love Fikse, but buying them direct can crush your bank account.....

If you want something cheaper, the 5Zigen FN01R seem to be exactly what you just asked for.



17x9 are flat faced, while the 17x10 are concave like the above.

+1 on CCW. They are 10 minutes from my house and have a quality facility. My good friend had a set of 18 by 10's and loved them. G

5Zigen FN01R, it says so right above the pic. You're probably thinking of Kodiak, they make custom race wheels, Kodak makes film.

I think what the OP really should do, instead of trying to get truly custom wheels is to do a bit of searching for what the proper offsets would be in those sizes, then find some places that'll let you search wheels by size, not just by car, or talk to some vendors that are helpful and knowledgable on the subject.

Truly custom wheels aren't needed to get those sizes and that style, and it'll only increase the overall price needlessly.

BAH, what is this a Supra forum?

overpriced and bland designs.

If you really want to spend money on the BEST wheels.

I mean super quality, slow dye forged and super light weight.

http://www.neezusa.com/

From $1500 to $8000 PER wheel.

ANYWAYS...


What offsets would you like to run. Dead numbers could give a good hint.

I'm not suprised the wheel shop didn't know about concave face wheels.

Since concave wheels are harder to copy, they prob. don't come across

genuine concave faced wheels too often.
