Dan does.

He's who made my 15 inchers with 39 bolts as I requested. Price then (about 9 months ago) was $175 for 15's
When you call him or e-mail mention the "Pirate board" discount.

He would do it, but locally I would call Larry Tripp at TrailReady.

I assume he wants to use an aluminum wheel to start with
believe it or not it exists. i believe the process is Explosive, never seen it done but we have these bymetallic strips as the superstructure of some ships are alum welded to a steel hull. due to corrosion we are always replacing portions of them.
also not gonna work in this application.:fawkdancesmiley:

kore 4x4 has 17" steel weld ons... and like above, ballistic has the auminum ones.:awesomework:
I want to use a forged or billet wheels then weld on the ring myself but this is just one of many ways I am looking into at the moment to jump up to a 17" wheel.. weight my options.
On my short list:
Champion Wheels Rock Thrashers 17x9 (they will also convert aluminum wheels)
High-impact Rock 8 17x9.5 (steel but they also have aluminum)
Walker Evans 17x8.5 (maybe a little narrow but I can get the 4"BS)
Raceline RT235 Desert Monster 1 Piece Forged (But not sure what sizes or lug pattern)
Trailready HD17 17X8.5 (high on the list)
That's a little overpriced, if you ask me.
You have a better source? Or someone who could make them? I think the price is high as well but it looks like they have the market cornered

:awesomework: our friend slic nik on crawling bc makes them.....:awesomework:
I don't have wheels at the moment but I am weighing the options... But I really do not see the benefits to running aluminum, the cost is very high and I can built steel locks for about 105 a wheel (plus my time) But I am still looking into different options I still have a little time my tires might show up this Friday but if not next Friday.
