I've looked into that too.
Accuride either doesn't have blank ones to sell (might be punched before forming?), or doesn't want to sell blank centers.

Even if they did the closest thing they have would look exactly like those wheels fabricated by Stockton wheel and pictured in another thread. They'd have a larger than normal flat surface around the bolt pattern, enough to look odd.
(not that wheel adapters and ~11.25 bolt circle wheels won't...) eeeek

I did find a wheel manufacturer that made special wheels for equipment and railroad trucks among other things. And at the time they were willing to help me and sell blank centers. Problem is their centers don't look like normal truck wheels, the contour of the dished center was different than we're use to seeing.
