I'm near little rock, ar... Have tried to find the same thing around here, no luck.

Best I could find is sending them to a shop in Michigan, or California.. but the cost was just too high.

Boltons Wheels in CA does custom wheels. I had them do some wide 5 deep dish for my Thing. I guess may depend on how crazy you are looking if they would do them.

i sent them my wide 5 centers and they had the blanks

you may look in to them

ps. I looked around Houston area where I live with no luck. I would have thought I could. I am sure there is someone in a hole in the wall garage that could do. just not ever easy to find

i did 4

used beetle wide 5 centers. I cut them out of stock rims. I shipped them the centers. they installed them in 15 x 6 blanks. not crazy size, just what I was looking for on my project.

been while back. was like $65 per wheel. I know they have gone up. shipping then was very reasonable.They turned them over within a couple weeks. it has been easily 6 years back though. still running them today.

been pleased. they did basic black backs and argent fronts. I had them powder coated once received.
