Default Custom wheels

Who would a person contact to get custom wheels made? I want a 8 lug torque thrust and no body makes one. I contacted American eagle and they said, they couldn't make them because it wouldn't hold the weight that a 8 lug needs to hold. I think they thought I was asking them to just drill 8 holes in the design they have. Which is not the case.

I would agree with him, they are also associated with mht wheels who supplies a lot of those wheel guys like intro and foose. I'm not sure if they will just make anyone a set of wheels cuz I never asked lol but maybe at the right price!

Intro said no also. No reason why, they just said "no we can't".

If I could bore mine out I would just run a 6 lug conversion on the 11.5, 14 bolt. But the way gm made them they can't be bored out. It's not a solid hub in the middle. More like mounting feet.
