Looking for lightweight steel rims. Maybe flat spokes? Homemade? Must be 38" diameter. Width can be changed, but 18 inches wide would be nice. Got any pictures? Who sells or builds them? Thanks. |

Pete P. at CAP Bros. (816-308-8879) has some of the best, light rims available. Pete also has his light centers. I've used his rims to build a number of pairs of round spokes, 14" through 20" wide. If you're looking for flat steel rims, Cale Manke & Tim Yates both build those. |

I have a set of the solid centers from Mahnke and they are as light as aluminium. |

Tim Yates makes nice lightweight steel rims. Really close to Aluminum weight and they hold up well. Message him on facebook or email me (ctobac1@yahoo.com) and I can get you his phone #. |
