Sleeper Skinnies I found a reputable shop that can cut out a piece of my 98-00 rims and weld in a smaller piece to make them 17X5.5 or 17X6. The want $150 per wheel.
I will then need 205 /55/17 tires or 215/50/17 tires. I can't find any skinnier tires with the right diameter or else I wouls get the rims cut skinnier.
I really want it to look like stock. I also think this will be more streetable than skinnies.
Is this to much $$$?
Do you think there will be any issues?

Thanks!
I think I'm going to wait until after X-mas. I will definately post pics. I know I could probably get real skinnies for better performance, but I want the car to look stock. I know a WS6 isn't really a sleeper, but the more I can keep it looking stock the happier I will be.
I will weigh them before and after I ship them.
Cop Car - I already have MT ET Radials and they don't have any wider tires for 17" rims. I think the compound out weighs going to wider non MT tires.
