I want 2 of their wheels in 11" width, but they do not make them that width any more. They do not have the "hoops". Couldn't they just find a supplier that makes them & make the wheels pretty easily?

They made them for years on a special order basis, I have one of the last sets ever built (they will deny they ever made them though). My guess is that their supplier for hoops quit building 11" hoops. My understanding is that anything a 10.5 hoop is a lot more work and requires the combining of 2 separate pieces which is why 11 and wider wheels always cost so much more. No, they won't just go pick up a pair 11" hoops just to build a set for you. I'm sure the bean counters had a lot to do with the decision to discontinue 11" and wider wheels.

why not just have them widened?

contact Weldcraft (http://www.weldcraftwheels.com/)
And have them make you a set. Its affordable at like 125.00 per wheel.

About 4-5 years ago I used to work for a speed shop that was direct with Centerline. I tried to order two 17x11's for my own vehicle and they didn't have any back then. I used to like thier wheel styles, but now there aren't too many that I care for.

I spoke to someone about widening them & they wanted something rediculous like $300+ per wheel. That is more than I spent on them.

I'll check with weldcraft.

Thanks,
Scot
