I'm thinking they would be made out of one block. For a couple or 4 I'd be thinking they might be a bit pricey. I could ask, but if one could take a pattern from an original and then use one of those fancy cad milling machines....

i want a set made with a different bolt pattern 5x114.3mm, as opposed to 4 x 98mm, this is for my project car, i already have the rear hubs for the irs, those have the 5x114.3mm pattern, the brake rotors and wheel selection is much greater at that pattern

there are shops around that make adaptors for ATVs. I doubt if you will do better than a couple of hundred a whack. The turning is the easy part. the hard part is getting the holes concentric. This requires a mill, preferably a CNC mill.

Never thought of that part, I just figure they would copy the steel ones
