Any Wheel manufactures here?

I am looking to buy wheel "blanks"..
I want to buy wheels that have the center bore and the tire bead area completed and nothing else.. Therefore I can machine the centers myself.
Anyone know where I can buy wheels in this condition?
Thanks

I think you're going to have a hard time. I was planning on doing the same thing at one time, and got nowhere. Probably liability issues.
I can't say that I blame them.
Same thing with wheel adaptors. After I made mine, I got countless requests to make them from other people. No thanks.

Yes, I have found that over the years... I have talked wheel mfg's from California to New York, they all have them, pallets of them, but since I am not a wheel mfg myself, they wont sell to me. I understand where they are coming from, but it is frustrating.
