A local fab shop. I'm not even sure if they have a name but they put together rims from "blanks". Basically they have the rims and the centers for them. They just machine your hub and bolt pattern into that, then weld them in place. The rims are refurbs they get for cheap and cut out the centers of (no clue if the center of a rim where the hub connects has a specific name or not). You might be able to find someone local to you doing the same thing. I just asked my local fab guy and it runs out he does this as a service for people. We've got lots of old and unique vehicles out here, so I guess there's a good enough demand for him to do it.

They sorta look like Eds, except that they close up those holes for the hub and lugs and then redrill on the freshly "blanked" face.
