Sure, lots of them, and anything is possible,  How much do you want to spend?

Ever get a good look at a Twin Cam wheel?  Looks a lot like a standard steel
wheel (a bit wider and heavier) bolted to a spline hub adapter.  I trust that
the splines don't match the standard wire wheel splines, but the concept is
there.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you would pay say $300 to $500 each for
splined hubs to fit your wire wheel car that you could bolt a standard wheel
onto?  If there's enough interest, I think I could arrange it.
