custom backspace rims (wheel vintiques says nope)

Here is the problem with doing small bolt steel wheels or rally wheel. The centers are smaller diameter that you need from the original 14 inch wheels. The man that made my wheels pictured above. Had me bring both 14 and 15 inch wheels. We used the 15 inch centers. But he told me he could have used the 14 inch if we needed to. He would have needed to get different hoops or use spacers. This is an older guy that has been doing wheels fo a long time. That is all he does , Wheels for Modified Nascar , Sand rails, and muscle car wheels.

If you Google the location. Its an Old Theater/Hotel with a three car garage/barn.

I pulled in and there was a Square body Chevy C10 parked in front of an old building . Didn't look like a Normal shop. No junk laying around just a couple big Trailers, If it wouldn't have been for the C10 I would have thought the place was Vacant. Knocked on the Garage door and when he opened up I couldn't believe All the wheels. The guy works by himself and enjoys what he is doing. The wheels are manual machine welded one at a time. He'll make any steel wheel you want. You just need the center. Some centers he does have in stock.

He basically makes all the wheels you all see on these Modifies. Takes and ships them all over to different tracks.

We were sent there by a Racer who knows him. I'll never worry about getting the correct Back spaced wheel again. It was $100 a wheel . dropped two 6's off for centers. and picked two up 12's like new. I glass beaded the centers of all the wheels before I dropped them off.

Art Bair is great! we have been texting and talking the last couple of days. He got the centers on Saturday and was already sending me pics and talking to me about the game plan. talked to him again today just to confirm all the front and backspace settings and make sure we were on the same page. This is an old school guy, very easy to talk to. Takes a check mailed out and pretty much just sends you the product back before the check arrives. honor system old school guy....a rarity these days. I have no doubt the job will be done well. I wish he offered powder coating...but there are plenty of place around here for that....and honestly paint is fine.
