Sources For Junkyard or Custom Steel Wheels (NASCAR tribute)
I’m not a NASCAR fan, but I have a wild hair to do the 63 Cat as a “NASCAR inspired” look. Let’s just call it a bucks down way to do the stance and drivability of a pro touring build with a nod to the racetrack dominance Pontiac had in the early 60’s. Big part of that look is some black painted steel wheels, but I want to run modern rubber. I’m looking for 17 to 19 inch hoops with at least with 8’s in the front and 10’s or 11’s in the rear. Lots of steel wheels on trucks in that size, but how many with a 5 x 4.75 bolt pattern? I’m willing to consider scrounging junkyard wheels and cutting and welding something to the right width and backspacing, but I’d REALLY like to find a wheel fabricator that will build me some wheels on the cheap.
Any ideas on a bucks down method to get me what I want?
