Has anyone seen any 14" drop band rim outers for using 13" wheel centres ?

 

Can find them for converting 14" to 15" wheels but not for converting 13" wheels

No, but what I have seen is 13” wheels machined down so they fit inside 14”hoops. Place in Perth was doing them few years ago I believe. A mate got some on an RB30 FC sedan he bought from over there.

Would make for a heavy wheel though. You end up with 1/2” of the 13” barrel inside the 14”. Original caps look ok on them, unlike the 15” ones from BCI.

Backdooring your post, but would anyone know where you can get 14 x 10 inch bands?

I have a pair of GTS rims I wanna blow out to 10's but most of the guys who do 15inch can't source the 14's anywhere

These guys are in Adelaide. I know they do 14x8” at least.

Extensive wheel services are still there too
Also in adelaide, south road
Maybe worth a try

Aaron at expensive will do the work no doubt. The other guys will sell you bare barrels so you can do yourself if your welding is good enough. A bare rim was $110 plus another $110 to put your centre in and paint black. Just give them the old rim and they will take out the centre.

Yes i can vouch for Extensive Wheel , they can be expensive, but they do good work. Jeff

He is competitive with BCI and the mob I posted. Probably the wrong end of the country for the OP.

Nice nail polish Neil didn’t know you were that way inclined

I like to feel pretty sometimes too

If that doesn't work out, you could try Ken Melvin down at Collie Machine Shop. He has altered the dish on rims for me before so I know he can do the machining and welding.
