Need Custom made wheels
Hello, I'm looking to have made a set of wheels for my McBurnie 72 Ferrari Daytona replica. The car chassis is from a 78 Corvette, so I'm looking for 17 x 8 wheels with a 4.5 back space, that replicate the Ferrari wheels from the 70's. I have contacted HRE who make a replica, model 505. But they are extremely expensive, and I'm trying find a wheel manufacture that may be cheaper.
Thank you for the help.

Looks good! Try CCWheel.com They make 17" 3-piece, but I'm not sure if they'll do a custom one off.
Good Luck!

Borbet and Gotti used to make GM wheels in that style - or pretty close to it. For the most part they were 16" x 8" 3rd gen f-body fitment, but they may work.

Thanks for the info, these are very hard to find! HRE can make them for me, but at $1800 a wheel! Not giving up yet!

You might want to check vwvortex.com or stanceworks.com. If some replicas exist, they can point you in the right direction. Having 1 offs made will cost as much or more than the HRE's. Good luck....
