COST; $250 a wheel, including the 11 in. barrel 
. PLACE; The guy who did them also does alotta work for US Wheel, B/C and Budnik. He is pretty well slammed all the time from them (just his brother and himself) and never has time for any outside work. He says they work well over 60 hours/week. It took over 2 months just to get mine done!! After finishing mine, he said he doesn't wanna do another set again, regardless of the price 
. A huge PITA job. Anyway he also said PLEASE not to tell where/who did them cuz he didn't want to screw with that kinda job again and he's got enough work already. I'll talk to him about this. He has his own machine shop in the LA area. FIT A CAMARO?? dunno. PIX ON CAR; since the car won't be ready for a while, I didn't want to buy the tires yet just to have them sit around dry rotting. Maybe I can use the builder's 315s and get some pix. That's what I'll do. Gimme a coupla weeks to get pix. I'm an over the road trucker and don't see him or the car much

that looks great. I like that you didn't just get the wheel widened and use those huge spacers. I wanted to get mine widened but I didn't want to run a spacer. Looks great I want to see some pics of them on a car. If you ever sell them PM me and Ill take them.
