Default 18" Steel Wheels

Looking to see if anyone know where to see about 18" steel wheels? got a few ideas rolling around in my head so looking for info. I know Stockton is out of business. Found guys that will widen wheels but can't seem to find anyone that makes a steel wheel? I guess I could get a set of aluminum made that way but I don't think the price would be in my budget.

I've got some 17" steel wheels. I had two of them widened to fit a 345/40 out back. I'm afraid they are gonna be heavy as crap though, not really sure as I don't have them yet.

Wheel Vintiques maybe? They were doing 17" steel rallye wheel variations, maybe they've added 18's.

I looked into it for a spare set of race only wheels. Nobody makes them due to weight.

Yah Jon I know they would be HEAVY, the over all theme is a COPO but just the look. What woulld a set of 18X10 and 18X12 wheels be that would look like an org 14 inch steel wheel that I could put a dog dich cap on, ball park. Let me know or if should call. I'm sure it is more then the budget will take right now but maybe then I can plan for them???
