Default Interest in custom 8 lug wheels

An idea I have been kicking around. Roush stopped making the 8 lug disc conversion a few years ago - not enough sales. Since 8 lug 15" wheels are now being made, I made a small run of plates to test an idea.

Essentially you would have a steel plate that bears the weight and power of the wheel as shown - the 5 little holes would mount a decorative cap made by 3D printing of high temp plastic that would mimic the look of a true 8 lug center.
A repop hub cap would snap into this cap. The plate would have studs to bolt to the 15" (or 14") rims. This would clear our disc setup and of course drums too.

Any interest?
