Boyd Coddington is also another that will create one-offs, or build to spec.

Please tell me these are only "for show." The stresses seen by a set of wheels aren't that simply determined. Even if you try to run calc's using the max lateral, vertical and torque loads from overzealous performance expectations you'll still be aiming blind concerning the impulse loads of hitting a pothole or kissing a curb, not to mention the cyclic loading effects.
I'd hate to see a nice ride hit the ditch because of a wheel failure. Legit wheels have solid testing behind them and some experienced engineers who know their stuff. Although I think it happens too often, the S.W.A.G. method just shouldn't be used with street wheels (or other suspension/brake components for that matter). swag = scientific wild ass guess

I would rather put my life on the line with a set of custom CNC'd billet wheels over any cast wheel on the market today.
