Hi
I am looking for a company That sell Wheel rim Blanks in the UK that i could re rim some steels Wheels.
I have made a set of flipped rimed wheels for a metro, and now want to re rim my beetle wheels into some wider blanks.
Does anyone on here know of anywhere that sells them the closet i have found is a company that sells tractor wheel rim blanks.
Thanks

Weller had a spell where they were flogging rims off on eBay. Might be worth getting them on the blower.

Aye, Weller did sell em, I have a pair of 15x10s and 15x9s, plan was to put centres in them for the capri, but I went a different direction

I bought some many years ago from a wire wheel specialist. Think they were called Motor Wheel Services. The company I was working for at the time wanted some wider wheels for a BMW 328 (1940's one I think)
They had blank rims on the shelf and I got some before they punched the spoke holes in them.
If Weller can supply them they will probably be the best bet as long as the sizes where the rim meets the center are correct.
Another way to go is to get a set of larger steel wheels and then swap the centers for your beetle.
Most people seem to go for banded wheels now but I would rather get new rins to weld to original centers.
