thanks for getting back to me...
In regards to not offering the 4" or 4.5" ss mag in cast aluminum..
Is it a Structural issue? integrity..? or a demand issue?
I posted a link to your web site on a car forum I participate in ..
I was bringing the members to the attention that you are currently making these
series of wheels in cast aluminum..
There was a large response...and request about the narrow rim aformentioned and also great
request for a larger 10" and 12" rim width as well..
if its a demand issue..I might persuade you that there is consideral demand for these sizes..
I am interested in a narrow front rim at this time..and am currently in the market for new rims
the steel versions/options are too heavy for my situation.. vintage dragrace car ..
muscle car...ect
thank you for your attention to this matter

The problem is the tooling cost is about $ 30,000 per mold and it take a mold for each size. We don’t see the market to recover this.
