Contact any of the "high end" wheel companies.
I'm sure they can make a set with any offset you want. Look at Boyds, Billet Specialties, Raceline, Bonspeed, Intro, and Rushforth Wheels.

+1. Call up some major manufacturers they can make just about anything you need but trust me..it'll cost ya! My wheels were one-offs on my c30 cuz I did away with the duals and put super singles in the rear. 22's to boot. But seriously I coulda bought another truck for the price of those wheels. My buddy had 12.5" wheels made by intro a while back so I know they will do it.

Re: 22''X12'' and 14'' wide wheels .
I have 20x9.5 and 20x11 HRE's on my Chevelle. The are custom 3 piece I had ordered to my specific offset. Like someone else said, any 3 piece wheel company can make you whatever you want. But, again...beware! It's gonna cost you and cost you a pretty penny. I paid $7000 just for the wheels alone and another $1300 for the tires. But, I'm now getting a custom frame for my Chevelle and I'm narrowing the rear frame rails for a 22x12.5 on the rear. So, I got to send them back to HRE to get wider rim halves on them and that will cost me another $1400. Lastly, HRE are the most expensive 3 piece wheels out there. There are cheaper companies out there like Asanti, Iforged and DPE. A cast wheel company will only offer what they make and won't do anything custom. Intro and Budnik are 2 piece, but can still do custom offsets. Here's pics of my Chevelle just so you can see the HRE wheels.

Re: 22''X12'' and 14'' wide wheels .
Pretty much what everyone else said goes, you will have to look to a billet wheel company to get what you want. I do know for a fact that any of them will make them in a 12 inch wide wheel, hell they can make them up to 15 inches wide. Any of the companies just take two barrels, split them, and weld them the width they need for your rims. They finish them out before they weld in the center to your backspace specs, and you would never know they used 2 hoops to build your ultra wide wheel. As of now, there are no sources for billet wheel companies to get anything wider than a 10 inch wide hoop, so they just make them. I looked hard at some Intro's a couple months ago, and it was $600 a wheel to widen them above 10 inches. Good luck with your search, and Im sure you will be happy with any of the companies that have been listed.

That all being said, if you look around at some companies, they will from time to time have wheels at a discount, where they made them for an order, and then there was a change or something happened, and they have them in stock ready to go, and usually at a discounted price. Finding a deal like that on wheels you actually like in the sizes and backspaceing you need is like finding a needle in a haystack. And I have never seen any that were 22x12. Remember, everything about a custom billet wheel is exactly that, custom. It does take time to make them, but you will get exactly what you want, in the finish and look you want, and that will fit YOUR truck. Usually the wait is not too bad, like 5 weeks, although I have heard stories of a few companies taking a few months. Most of your bigger billet wheel companies have stepped up their turnaround on wheels as they realise customers will not wait months for wheels. I dont consider waiting 5 or 6 weeks for a custom set of wheels to get to me an unbearable amount of time, even though Im sure once I bite the bullet and buy some, it will seem like an etertinity. |
