I found those brands on summit. Can't find the rim with the width of 12. The biggest I've found is 9.75

Does anybody know where I might be able to find these wheels? I can't find them anywhere. Cragar and US Wheel both make this wheel but they dont make them with the width I need. The biggest issue is that Im not sure what brand these wheels are but I know they are 12" wide. If anyone knows id appreciate it a boat load

Damn, I can't get it off the tip of my tongue. If its the one I think it is, it's pretty common or used to be and seemed about everyone made something similar to it. Gosh dammit, what is it. I know it know it know it !!!

Dammit, This is killing me. For some reason I'm thinking of like a donut name or something to do with donuts. Not sprinkles.

Damn, I still can't think of the name I've heard them called, and I know more than one company made them. Glad to see Unique still does.

I feel like all of these companies stopped making them 12" wide

like I said have you measured them from bead to bead with a tire off?

I only ask because a guy once claimed he had 12 inch wide wheels because the tires said 12.50 on them.

Yeah, modular wheels. I always liked the ones with the anodized centers, particularly in black or gold. They used to be available in the 12-14 inch wide sizes, but I don't know if they still are.
