My fronts are 17"x7"x4.5" bs, my rears a 15"x8"x5.5 bs, so I am familiar with the whole larger than 15" steel wheel issue. I found your post (and a few others) and was kind of nervous, but everything worked out in the end, so I am very pleased. They did a great job on the powder coating as well.

That's the thing with negative OR positive reviews left on public forums for any business, one person's experience can be drastically different than anothers or a business can improve or go down hill in a month's time, much less ten years!

My latest experiences have proven that to me, the business that has some negative comments on PY gave me great service and the one that had only (at the time of me sending payment in full) had people raving about them is yet to fulfill their obligation.

To get back on subject, I would recommend them to anyone looking for custom steelies and highly recommend BOB as the person to call with your order.

Making them up required that the 15" wheels centers be built-up with added material on the OD to mate up with the 17" rims. Not quite as simple as making up a set of 15" wheels, but certainly not a huge project either.

It took 6 months to get my wheels, and only after making phone calls to them every 2 weeks to prod them along. Nobody at Stockton Wheel ever called me to let me know how the wheels were progressing or as to why there was a delay. :confused:

They already had my money (sent them a check) so I was pretty much at their mercy.

I heard every excuse, the worst being they had a a hard time finding 4 15" GM centers that were close to the same. Give me a break.:rolleyes:

This was about 10 years ago, so things may have changed there.

Never again for me.:gag:
