Refurbishing Carlsson 3/11. need help

good morning all. hoping someone can help. about to refurb a set of 21" 3/11 Carlssons but having trouble sourcing inner and outer barrels for the front. i know they are 21X9 but im not sure if these are are 8" inner and 1" outers or 7.15" inners and 1.5" outers. does anyone know where i can get a new set of inner and outer barrels to complete the job in the front? the rears seem easier to find. here is a pic of the current setup on my satin white CL65

Hi. There are companies in the US that make blanks, the sizes are in 1/2 inch increments.
VR Wheels can make them to spec for you. They may need one of your centers to measure the center bore and match holes.
