well I finally found the ans to this they buy a
CT&W part 150070-002-010 a raw rim that is a dot JJ style rim
the mfg is
http://www.carlisletire.com/ aka http://www.uniquewheel.com contact Rosey
310-816-1015
On the rim it says
Made in USA 15x7 J.J. Dot CT&W 9 19 2001 Custom
This is the carlisletire

These cost about $15 each from a few vendors 503-491-8848/800-938-8473
then they cut out the center of the 14" vanagon steel wheels & weld that
center piece into the
CT&W 15x7 custom rim
The 14" rims are $15-25
I got quoted about $50 for the labout for cut/weld
so you cost DIY is 15 + 15 + 50 =$70 not really worth the efort unless your
a welders
just buy the sa steelies from van cafe for 89 but gw charges 135/rim for
the CT&W's
