Manufactures of custom steel wheels?

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good company that manufactures or modifies steel wheels? Heard bad things about Stockton wheels, but though there's nothing to loose in giving them a try. They were very helpful with the customer service at first, then all a sudden could not get anything out of them and it drags on.

Herd not so good things about Stazworks wheels and not up for trying with all the negative reviews of them.

Spoke with Mrw Wheels, and they only new wheels, and do no offer the correct sizes.

Basically I am looking to get 4 wheels made with existing centers that I have and 4 new wheels with flat plate centers made. If any one has any suggestions or leads on companies that would be able to preform the work it would be nice to know, thank you.

Re: Manufactures of custom steel wheels?

A guy named Pete Paulsen is here in California, about 10 miles from Stockton Wheel. Always seemed like a nice guy in person, though I have only seen him at swap meets and purchases were made on the spot. his website is www.petepaulsen.com. Good luck with your search!

Re: Manufactures of custom steel wheels?

One of the wheel manufacturers in cali died a year or two ago. I forget which one it was. I think he committed suicide. I do not know what became of the business. Anybody?

That was Stockton Wheel, but now they are open under new ownership.
