Are you talking about some kind of 1/4" tire spacer that mounts to old wheels?

I really like the look of factory white steel wheels with hubcaps, but there are very few good choices in 16.5" sizes these days. I cut out the centers from some 16.5" factory wheels and figured out how to mount them to a 17" hoop...

Now I've got a lot of modern tire choices, but with the "look" of a stock wheel.
