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
