Mueller talked about cutting down a 4 bolt Fuch and then turning it into a 16 or 17 inch X 6 or 7 inches, I think he may have lost interest since he got his rice wheels.

I wonder if these guys would do it and how much.

The outer rim halves I was looking into using don't have the saftey bead on them so I passed on the project. Also the 4-bolt Fuch does not have as much extra material on the OD of the center section like the 16x6 Fuch has.

For about 250 per wheel, I know a manufacture in New Zealand that will make 3 piece wheels per my (your) design. So making a 4-bolt Fuch looking rim in larger diameters and widths is not that big of a deal. I know there is a charge for the pattern (cast), but I don't think it is too much...his prices on new spun outer halves is very reasonable.
