Those are made by american racing, dont know off hand if they are available in our pattern though. Try and contact AR to see if they can custom drill?

I asked them - no custom drilling. Liability concerns.

:scratch: How does that even make sense? That means that their second guessing their own quality-so how can we even be so sure that their 6x5.5 or 5x5.5 is even safe? That was a bad chioce of words on their part.

That's a nice way of saying "We're not interested" or they are not tooled for our pattern.

Getting 6x5 anything from AR is a pain in the ass. I'm STILL trying to get my 5th wheel for my spare. I should have just gotten adapters...

I'm sure their wheels are stamped using a production die. Big difference between that and drilling.

Plus, I believe they swage the holes so they work properly with the conical wheel nuts.
