Anyone make these? I've checked JGE, Flat-4, forum search and stickies, etc -- but looks like 5x130 is about as big as they come. I'd like some for my 60 panel bus, but I have a sizable investment in wide-5 at both front and back, so the 130s won't do for me. (And I am skeptical about inserts/resizers...)

Thanks!

I would also love to see a set of wide 5 Porsche gas burners. I'm not to good at photoshop, But here's a couple pictures of what they would look like. Hope you like them.

Thanks for pointing those out!

I'd seen them (speed masters) on a bus somewhere here and hadn't been able learn what they are.

They ARE *&^% expensive, but quite nice... and unlike anything I'd do with gas burners, they shouldn't require using spacers/converters to mount.

Welp, time to start savin...

I talked to the guys over at EMPI about making the "gassers" in wide 5. I told them why not you already made there rim for 3 different Lug paterns. They said that they weren't opposed to it, and would bring it up later next year when there going over the new catalog. I told them I think they would sell good. So if anyones interested in possibly getting a set in the future give them a call and ask. They said if there was a demand for them they would make them. Lets see what happens.
