made for me a set of welded one piece steel wheels to the offset I wanted for my
Porsche 914 V8 Renegade Hybrid street rod (custom offset at no extra cost) .
They had lots of bolt patterns and the cost of the new wheels was reasonable. I
live in California and they shipped the wheels I ordered to me directly from
their plant. Try "Rally wheels," a Chrysler bolt pattern may work with the
Rover bolt pattern and they are designed for US thread studs, if that fails they
will work with you.
