I have some feelers out for some wheels to replace my rusted out ones, but in the mean time I was doing some searching on the web and found this site:

http://www.ricksontruckwheels.com/wheels-custom.php

Looks promising, at least they like old vehicles. I emailed them but they are gone for the weekend.

Thanks for posting that, I've been looking for an east coast company that builds custom wheels. I've heard good things about this company although I have not had any personal experience with them and shipping would be expensive from CA.

I visited their shop/warehouse a few years ago when they were just tooling up to make wheels.
They were helpful and honest, I'd deal with them again.

Don't have any experience with their custom made wheels, curious to hear about them.

Rally America builds really nice stuff, and they are super honest and really helpful. I called them about some wheels that were real standard and they told me they were happy to build them but that I could get them cheaper from a different source. So they lost a sale but definitely gained a customer the next time I need a real custom wheel. I have never looked for large wheels from them but they might have them.

What would be super cool is to have them do a rear dually to a superwide single in our bolt pattern. Then we could run the 465/45/22.5 like the big trucks. Looks a little like a pro-street. That would be awesome. Or a nice set of polished aluminum wheels like Alcoa's in our bolt pattern.
