does anyone have an idea how to make or where to buy the small wheels (like motor bike wheels) used for loading a wide formula car in a narrow enclosed trailer

The motorcycle paddock/trailer wheels don't make the car narrow, just tall. They have no offset.

i think that is what i need the wheels on the car are 14" rears (where the problem is) so have a huge offset which is what i need to reduce due to a narrow trailer

I made up a set for Brandon and me that cantilevers the tire to the inside of the upright. The wheels make it so that the center stub axle is the most outboard thing on the car. It takes several inches of track out of the car and makes loading a lot easier.

Sounds like you need to make a set for Nomis.
