Thats awesome. How much was that to get done? How wide? And Im guessing you can just slap them on and go? I like the 10 spokes and would hate to spend thousands on a wheel I feel so so about.

It's cheaper than widening as you don't need a donor rim, but I don't know the actual cost.

How would that even be possible? You can add material to the inner side, but not the outer.

Prob a hell of a lot. Goin threw google a few days ago I found a place that cuts out the center section and can re-do the rim. I think it came up under a musclecar forum.

Yes, but who does that work?
I know one company that did it, but it was so hard they said they wouldn't do anymore.

That is the SICKEST WS6 wheel I have ever come across. PROPS to its creator... I would definitely pay for this to be done, and I have the donor wheels to do it. Please, some one find the information for this!!!

Man, I sure would like my ZO6s with that lip, and polished. Awesome. I wish someone could post of some 'no s&*t' info on this topic. I'm a little tired of the tucked in look.

Ok, So they don't actually add a lip on the outside, their simply move the center. That's an important distinction.

I wonder it they could take a cheap rim with a fat lip and your good rim, cut the front portion off both and weld the fat lip to your good rim? In my mind it seems possible.
