Title: 14 Inch rims with centre for FC hubcaps-advice wan Post by: spybo on June 04, 2006, 09:59:26 AM Anyone know if this is possible?
I have had 3 sets made up but the centres will not accept the FC h/caps. If anyone has info on where I can gets some rims made up to suit FC h/caps please get in touch Spyro Title: Re: 14 Inch rims with centre for FC hubcaps-advice Post by: MikeM on June 05, 2006, 10:54:08 AM Spyro,
I went through the same process and from my research you will have to get your 13 inch centres welded into 14 inch, with the 1 inch step, rims. You have to be careful, you may have to go slightly wider. In my case, I wanted 15 inch and I ended up getting 8 mm plate welded to some commodore rims with the centres removed and I am welding lugs to take the caps. Not as ideal as I would have liked, but as close as I could get. Not sure what state you are in, but summerfield in WA does this kind of work.

these can then be welded into a new steel band, either 14inch or welded into a 15 inch stepped band craig Title: Re: 14 Inch rims with centre for FC hubcaps-advice Post by: spybo on June 07, 2006, 09:37:22 AM Heya Craig,
Thanks for the reply....I looked them up and rang and rang....perhaps they don't work the long hours. I wiu ll try again every day until I get them. Sounds like the solution I am after.
