Default Lack of 4 x 108 Alloys

Why is that so many wheel manufactors don't cater for the 4 x 108 PCD?
Rota make so many good wheels but only about 2 of them fit 4 stud ford and they are either 15" or a whack offset and width in a 17"
I'm after some 9 x 17, Team Dynamics 1.2's come in that size but have none in stock and to be fair if I had the choice i'd go for different style anyway plus i'm still not sure without tring one whether they will go over my 6 pot AP and 355mm discs.

Only other option Rich is 5 x 112 and use Granada hubs and alter your bells to suit.

wheel choice would be vast then

Rota don't do a single 17" in 5 x 112 only 18's and 19's

I love Rota's new RM100 it's like a Dished Compomotive TH meets a original 3 Door alloy:

And you wont either unless someone changes there hubs.
They also do the same one without the cross hatching so just looks like a dished TH.

Plenty wheel manufacturers will custom drill a set of wheels if asked.
Also there's the option of stud convertors too...

Ford owners imagination when it comes to wheels often seems to be frustratingly limited when there's no need.

I've tried a few for customs one and they have none of it I even said give me blanks and i'll get it done myself but no was the answer!
I'd love to try new different style wheels, like I said I love some of Rotas new stuff and old stuff to be fair.
