I like your thinking but no, they are for a different project
Many thanks
As the heading, I'm looking for a firm that would custom build a set of steel wheels to my specified rim size and offset.
Any suggestions please.
These guys were featired in PPC a while ago, Spt 09 issue.

Last time I spoke to Weller they were in administration and couldn't quote on any custom work. The guy on the phone sounded very depressed indeed.
A guy from Jago club spent a lot of time sorting out a deal for some 15" x 8 spoke Wellers and was told a minimum order of 80 wheels or similar
was needed, not sur eif that wa swithMr deepDepression or oneof his assistants whatever you wil lneed a good design to sell that many!

Thank you all for your replies. It obviously isn't going to be easy to find what I'm looking for; 15 inch rims 4.5 inch wide, Ford 4 stud
spacing and an offset et19.
Once again, many thanks.
Guessing from your Username...
Would it not be easier to get the hubs machined?

I was given the above contact when looking for some steel wheels for a trailer. Haven't contacted them yet though, so can't say what or how
they are.
Cheers,
Nev.
Cheers Nev, I've contacted them and await their reply.
To follow on Nev, I've just had a call from WheelsUK no more than 30 minutes from my contacting them. A really nice chap and a good possibility they can make what I want. It's really nice to get such a quick and enthusiastic response. Would that more were like that!!
The work should not be beyond the scope of any small engineering company. Where are you based?
Gazza we're out Cambridge way.

Yes, there's a thought. I can feel a trip to the Breakers coming on.
Many thanks for that.

That'll be great, look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
right you want focus spare wheels,
they do them 98-05 mk1/2 shape,
they are 15" x4" 4x 108 offset i would think to be around et42 like standard focus wheels,
if you require some i can sort you 4 new ones
beaver34 Very grateful to you for your help, U2U sent.
