^^^^^^since that answer, lock thread please!!! Lol

There must be someone out there that makes them? I'm sure quite a few of us want the standard look with a 9 or 10 inch rim on the back....oh well

You could always look into getting some widened.

It can be done.

Seen a set done on a VR Senator. Factory look 17's but 10" wide. Done by dragway wheels in Thomastown. 3D scanned into the computer, then CNC machined from a solid billet then fitted to barrels (2 piece wheel). Guy wouldn't say how much only that he basically had to give them his first born daughter, his right nut and then on hand over blow jobs for all.

Not worth it.

Surely if you get 4 and turn them into 2 by cutting them up and get someone to reweld them wouldnt be that much money everyone's to scared sh*t will break etc that why noone does it anymore

They won't break, I know of some guys who circuit race on some narrowed wheels. As the wheels they needed to run were too wide for that particular car as far as the rule book was concerned. They were cut and re welded.

Issue doing it that way is offset. Finding someone who does that with steel wheels is easy, on my Late model camira I had 15x8's and 15x4's made from 15x6's, no one wants to touch alloys though.
