Hi All,
I am working on a Deserter GT project and bought a set of drop spindles with disk brakes in a VW 4 bolt pattern. I have been trying to find a set of slotted rims but, none are easily available. I found a website with what I want in a Chevy pattern. My problem is that with the adaptors they will stick out too far. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a set of discs that would fit on the spindles in a Chevy pattern.
thanks for the help
Patrick

Are they EMPI disc brakes?

If so, companies like Cip1 sell rotors in a Chevy bolt pattern that will fit.

Find blank rotors, those with no holes for studs. Then have them drilled fo your chevy pattern. Any good machine shop should be able to do the work at a reasonable price.

Yes these are the ones that I am looking for. I was trying to find 5.5 inch and 10 inch rims but, they are very hard to find in the 4 bolt pattern.

For those of you that may be interested. I had contacted US mags and there Indy - U101 wheels look exactly like the slotted rims I was looking for. They had told me that they can drill a 4 lug in 15x5, 15x7 and 15x8. All the other sizes come with the five cap screw holes pre-tapped.
We COULD drill a 4 lug 15x9 but you would have the five cap screw holes visible which most people would not accept. I did not find out any details about cost. At this point I will go replacing the drums and rotors with the Chevy pattern. Thanks for all your help.
