You could always turn the cntre out of some commondore rims.

Pretty sure you can get 17" steel rims, I'll talk to the guy I got my spun alloy rims from on Monday. Why not 17" spun alloy? These are the ones I'm building for the Speedster, kinda outlaw race style as opposed to the standard Porsche center. Spun alloy rim with steel centre and "drum skinz" from the states which represent 550 Spyder drums.

Thanks peter , the ally ones I would have to get a center water cut out or CNC machined * I dont have one any more , Me fitter as well ! but can get the center lazer cut from steel :thumb

or just get a flat center cut light weight and a nice plastic hub cap from supper cheap if they do 17 " .

I'm getting a price on some CNC work at the moment, should be mates rates and I'll do the programming.
good luck.

I miss not having a machine do run some things up , like adapter plates , fly wheels , gear box parts , diff components , if I win the lotto I get one just for home 🙂

I go to my mates its allways running 24 / 7 ( I think it needs to $$$ )
