And have lousy customer service. I went into their shop and tried to get a quote on something custom and they kept pointing me at things that would not work. I will NEVER deal with them and they're just across town here.

There is a guy at the Nationals every year and out of Indy area I beleive goes by the Wheel Guy.
He made me some custom small bolt pattern 15x8 steelies ( believed he out sourced to someone)
but anyway he was great to deal with and needed no cores.

Jim, you know anything about Gary McLean's shop Rally America?

If the OP is trying to use dog dish style caps, then you may have to provide a center to be transferred. SBP and 15" on the steelies is not real easy from what I understand.

There are places here in So Cal. that will cut out your 4" BC center and install it at what ever off-set you need and will build them to up to a 12" width. I had a pair of 15x12's made for $60 each by doing that. Some places even cut the rim and splice in a spacer to make your wheel the size you need if no outer is available for your center. Cop car wheels are like that. I had two of them made into 15x10's at $90 each but that's been a while since I did those. But it does show that it is possible/available.
