|

Say, does anyone know if Bolton Wheel is still in business?? About 10 years ago I shipped them a set of stock wheels they cut the centers out re-welded them to a wider rim and rechromed them for $100 each. Their web site came back server not found. Or, know of a company that will do the same?? Thanks. Don |

Try Googling Stockton Wheel in Stockton, CA. They have been around forever and make steel wheels in any configuration you desire. They built a set of custom widened steel smoothies for a 63 Ford Fairlane I had years ago. _________________ 1967 beetle

Here's the info.
Bolton’s Classic Wheels
16516 S. Western Ave.
Gardena, CA 90247
310 765 6621
http://www.boltonsclassicwheels.com/
Don't know about chroming. I just had a set widened from some OG wide to 15x6 wide 5. Great service, excellent turnaround. Very fair price I thought. $65 per wheel widened with my center cores.

did not try and call. did a Google search they have a Face book page from 2012. Yelp has reviews on shop. one of the reviews is from 6-12-14.

enjoygram instagram site has a hit with pics of repair from 2 months ago
looks like they are out there most likely. i found a business site that showed 1991 origination date. sounds like established operation, just not big on modern technology. |

Hey all. As I had stated, I drove past them last month and the doors were open, I believe. I'm about 20-25 miles away from them and will get down there and actually make contact with them and get their contact info, being a good phone number and/or e-mail info. Anyone have any specific questions I should ask?
Hope this helps, Bill. |

I had Bolton's Classic Wheels widen a pair of Porsche 356 KPZ wheels to 8 inches for me last month.
I'm very happy with the results. $110.00 each and I supplied the stock width wheels.
If you want powder coating, it's an additional $110.00 per wheel. I just had them paint them white at no extra charge.
