Is there a shop that will make a 1 off rim based on my design? Preferably in MN

 

sure there are (maybe not local), but you are looking at a couple grand each, easy, FYI.

 

lol that may be a little over my budget. lol

 

Depends is if its going to be a 2 or 3 peace wheel and also depends on the design...

 

Boyd Coddington has made one off customs before.


At some point, I'm gonna be making a set of 18" GTA crosslace rims......... hopefully.
But I have the access to machines and the the ability to machine my own centers.

you may want to also consider the actual design behind wheels. Looks arent everything.

 

A little off topic, but HRE is going to be selling something very similar to the GTA wheel soon as part of their classic line. Might be a little less expenseve.

 

That would be SICK!!!!! Im so into these wheels when I made my 8.8 a 3rd gen width as I wanted to keep these rims and vette wheels are so overplayed in my eyes. Im looking into geting a extra set of rears I got widened

 

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but there are two sets of custom GNX wheels out there already:

Doesnt say where he got them or i might have missed it. They look awsome but the only thing is im not a fan of than rivet look at all. If they can make them black or have a set without them id be all over them like white on rice

 

He made them.

Once you figure out how to make a 3 piece forged wheel without "that rivet look" I'll be all over it like white on rice too.

 

im looking into it for sure as 18" GTA's look sweet

 

Any high end wheel manufacturer that has their own CNC setup can make one-off designs. Rushforth, Boze, Bonspeed, Budnik, Intro, etc. I would expect costs to start at $2-3k per wheel. Nobody is going to be able to CNC a custom design for less. There's a lot of time involved with the 3D design & creation, plus the solid billet aluminum isn't cheap.

 

Plus, all designs must be subjected to Finite Element Analysis, which is software that costs in the range of $60,000.

And if simple billet aluminum isn't cheap, the spin-forged blanks that forged rims are made from definitely isnt either!
