: Custom made wheels?

Are there any major mamanufacturers out there building truly custom wheels based on consumer wishes? I know it used to just be the big dog custom shops (the Boyd Coddingtons and the OCCs of the auto/bike world) doing this sort of thing, but now that CNC machines are popping up all over the place, is there anyplace offering this service to the public?

I'd love to have some billet wheels made in the same style as my stock simulators on my 08 drw, only in 20" or 22" diameter. Anybody know where I could start looking? I really guess if worst comes to it, I can write my own CAM program for the wheels I want and have a local CNC shop cut them... but I'd much rather find somebody who's already setup to do this and has experience with wheels to tweak my programming.... It'd be a damn shame to have some 20" diamater paperweight$$ when its all said and done!

How much are we talking per wheel? For the width I'm looking for it seems like the fronts would be one piece billets (20x6) and the rears would be a 2- or 3-piece design with the center section made of a billet and bolted in (20x12). Can intro do multi-piece wheels?

I know there is a company called "Stazworks" that makes custom wheels.

Looks like Stazworks only does beadlocker-type stuff. Intro has some decent looking off the shelf wheels starting around 2800 for a set, figure maybe double that for a custom set? Thanks for the info guys.

Hmm.. forgot about that. I'm not sure if he only does beadlock stuff. I was talking to him last winter about custom 20x12's or 20x14's and they were gonna be about $370 a piece, of course that wasn't chromed or powdercoated or anything. Well, just trying to help. Here's a friendly bump.

Email or call John @ Stazworks and see what he can do for you! He might be able to help you out. He built the 20x16s on my 07.5 show truck and i was very pleased with his work. Just an idea.
