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,
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.
apparantley allstreet tyres here in perth has a new centre you can purchase which is 14 inch, but takes the early(fe to hr) size hubcap.
these can then be welded into a new steel band, either 14inch or welded into a 15 inch stepped band

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.

spyro, allstreet tyres is a business run from his home.(big property, huge shed)
stan, the owner does a huge amount of custom wheel setup's here in perth for most of the big dollar machines.
not sure if he is away at the moment so keep trying.

spyro, spoke to someone today and stan is not away, he just doesnt answer his phone much!

Hi Craig,
Problem was an old web page listed an old location and number....I have his current number and opening times so I'll give it a shot next week.
Thanks for your help.
