Discussion and technical advice the SW20 MR2. 3S-GTE, 3S-GE, 3S-FE etc
Anything and everything to do with maintenance, modifications and electrical is in here for the Mk2.
I've contacted someone I know who used to make some for me. Hopefully he still does them. He will require the bore size of the wheel and hub diameter to get them exact, if you can get me that info I'll see what he says.
Any local machine shop should be able to knock them up. But its normally at a premium cost cos they can't do a run of them. Manual turning should be cheaper as no programming costs. I would guess 90 mins max for a batch of 4 from a single billet.

yeah the premium is my worry, dont want to spend a fortune on these so hoping someone would know somebody that does this often and hopefully a bit cheaper
a very good place we use at work is " autopart " they cusom drill and make wheels, they have a website aswell or you can give them a ring and ask for tony and say jamie from fuelzone said that he maybe able to help
if not try image wheels as they do all sorts of custom wheels from bead lock to billet
hope this helps mate
Yep if you are referring to Adam, he's the guy I have contacted.
He's been a bit quiet on TB at the moment, I think he's a little busy.
Havn't heard back from him yet altho I'm sure he'll soon be along.
maybe an idea (and cheaper?) to get the very start of the wheel centres bored out to something like 63.4mm, at which point you can use something like this; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Spigot-Rings-OD-6 ... 286.c0.m14
obviously depending how much a set of custom spigot rings would set you back
Try www.CustomSpigotRings.co.uk, i'm not on comission but got given a damn good deal on the last set if I put word out about them, hope this helps, Mark
