    Rim question

    WHERE CAN I GET CUSTOM WHEELS MADE? what i'm asking for is a place where i send them a design or whatever and they make it for me off a blank.

    I UNDERSTAND ALL THE FACTORS WITH THIS IDEA (structure of the rim and how its built, cost etc.) so before you bash- JUST ANSWER MY QUESTION. If you dont have any company info to provide then keep it moving.

    finding the perfect set has been heart breaking thus far and i'm getting frustrated and truly believe that this is the only way i'll be happy with the new shoes for my baby, plus how freakin sick would it be to have a set of wheels you can say that you made huh? im all for being NOT like all the other owners out there throwing bbs's on their cars (no offense lol). so if anyone knows a company where they would do this for me PLEASE post all info that you know and don't be afraid to ask any questions if i haven't been clear enough in my request.

    thanks for the future info guys (and gals i think)

    ALSO: im new to the forums so PLEASE tell me if this topic is in the wrong spot and point me in the right direction if needed. i dont wanna piss off any moderators. ;D

    If you can't afford eBay wheels, you can't afford custom wheels.

    Not to mention you can't just send off a design without proper designing/engineering/testing.

          ok lol

          CCW, Rotiform, Image, fifteen52, HRE, and iForged all make wheels in custom sizes and specs.

          You're going to have to spend a retarded amount of money to get completely custom designed wheels built.

            Of course you could just buy a block of aluminum a chisel and go to town on it.

                    They are wheels. and don't tell me i didn't contribute because i corrected your vocabulary.

                    Your going to have a hard time getting help around here being bossy and telling people "next" by the way.

                      But it's true unless you're talking about some crazy rare, magnesium racing wheels only found on some 70's LeMans race car. I mean custom spec'd wheels will run, what, like $3k at the cheapest (not counting steelies). You can find fully rebuilt and refinished 3 piece wheels for less than that, especially in sizes suited for the E30.

                              Out of curiosity, how much do you think designing, testing and machining a wheel costs? I'm genuinely curious.
