Took them awhile to grow on me, as I had a set sitting in my storage and were also for sale for awhile. But now that i've decided to get turbo flares to use them, im looking forward to putting them on. They are 13x8.

I have the same just in the middle of a refurb of them, I even have the Milano badges that look a bit like Alfa badges but arent! Rare as rocking horse crap apparently (the badges) They are great wheels, nice and light, why do you think you need flares to fit them, they are at least et17, ok just reread your post you have the deeper ones with big tyres?

This is awesome. Where do outer 14" steel barrels that fit 13" centers come from?

[Roundeie]

These were built by Stockton Wheels (Stockton CA). They source the barrels and probably any wheel repair and build shop can get them. I've seen barrels online at Summit Racing / Speedway but these were in stock at the shop. Lots of metal added and machining to ensure strength (It weighs 26 lbs).

Those are exactly what I've been trying to find. How much was it to do this and what metal was added other than weld.

Total cost per wheel including powdercoating is $260 (not including wheels since they were just sitting around). My guess is there are less expensive vendors available in areas with more shops willing to take this on.
Check the photo below of the tack welded center piece in the barrel. The back side had to be welded and the gap filled in and machine ground to smooth.

Hey, let's talk about the side exit exhaust passing through a quarter panel.

I was just out looking at my E30 steelies and the stockers and had the same idea. Being a machinist with access to some really good welders, I may have to come up with a plan. Thanks for the extra photos.

I have a set of MSW 6"x14" et13 that I recently removed the black background paint.  I am showing the before with 175/65r14 and will be installing 185/65r14 very soon.  

 

Before:

 

After:

 

 

I will buff out the wheels and I'm trying to clean up the center caps.
