Yes, I sell to the Wheelsmith and I sell to individuals too just in case someone has the materials, equipment and skills to do them for themselves.

Out at the Carlisle show in PA , I once ask a guy how he put the 10 inch caps on the wheels on his car , when I knew the wheels would only accept a 9 inch cap.
He told me he glued a 9 inch cap inside the 10 inch cap. But he only used the on the show field , cause they did the weeble wobble when...
A couple of years ago , I bought a pair of the narrow wheels from Speedway , just to see if they fit the Mopar 10 inch caps. They do not. But you can always see for yourself

So are you referring to the 15 x 6 steel wheels for the A12 cars , with the special back cuts on the inside of the nubs that would hold on the dogdish cap ?? I didn't know of anyone doing those...

I got the centers made , it was my idea , with the help of a friend that does CAD work and has connections.
The Wheelsmith buys my centers to build the wheels. Another place in CA , Custom and Commercial wheels has built wheels for some customers. Also Diamond Racing Wheels in WI has...
The 15 inch centers are larger than the 14 inch centers. The 14 inch centers can't be made into 15 inch wheels , because there are no bands ( outters ) that will make that happen. So to make wider 15 inch wheels ,
you have to cut a 15 inch wheel , that's a waste of a good wheel. That was a lot...
Not exactly sure where you are referring to , that I made up the 1/2 inch ( 1/4 on each side ). But if you compare an original and my center , the 1/4 inch ( all the way around ) is just past the nubs for the dogdish cap. The cap area had to stay the same , the rest of it can be adjusted in...
The centers are 13.25 inches , which is the size of a standard 15 inch Mopar steel wheel band. Not the size of the original 15 inch Mopar steel wheel of that time period , which was 12.75 inches. When I had these made , I had the size increased to fit into a standard Mopar steel wheel band. A...
Yes you can , for years I told customers about putting a 9 inch cap inside a 10 inch cap. It works , how well , I don't know never tried it. There are other ways to do it too.
Then I decided to spend the time and money to get the correct wheel center made , so it
will fit the standard size...
Yes , I understand it's not cheap. Nothing in this Mopar hobby is cheap. Also if getting the centers made was cheap , then someone before me would have already done it. I will leave it as you get what you pay for in most cases.
Happy New Year to all !!!
