I'm just trying to put the word out there for other people that need this kinda work for their specific need cause most rims company can't get us what we exactly need. That why I'm always on the look for some cheap wheels to customize

If anyone was at niesi car show last year and saw a wide burning black vs-xx by a Honda accord wagon, those were my 20x13 with the 7in lip. He can also do what ever lip size u want to, 8", 10", 12" etc. As long as can fit them under your fenders haha. He would cut 2 lips, weld them back up and refinish them if some of you was wondering how that was done.
where is this ralph located again?and contact info?

gotcha. yeah ive cut mine to the point where if i pulled my rears any more, it would separate the inner from the outer. i cut off the tacks that hold the two together. but from what ive heard and read with adon and his fenders, he did the same as me and when he tries to pull the outer more, it just pulls itself back in. its like the inner fender holds pressure and supports the outer once its pulled

I have a friend with a Z do it and no problems. I guess what needs to be done is that once you do it, you need to reweld the inner part back together. Also, I'm talking to another guy on the Z forum and he hasn't had any issues either. I wonder if with Adon if the wheels or tires were hitting the fender. That can definitely do it, but if it clears then maybe there won't be issues?

yeah idk what is up with adons fenders. like i said, mine are cut and pulled just a tad and they stayed fine. i say give it a shot. worst case is that you cut a piece to bridge the gap from the inner to the outer and tack it in place

Yea that's what I was thinkin. I gotta get my neighbors number again. He works at a shop where they do all sorts of custom suspension stuff so I'm sure they have a welding machine there.

BTW, seriously? $6k for Vossen wheels? Since when did their price exceed the price of wheel companies like Leon Hardiritt?

bwahahahaha, 6K Vossens! That is funny as hell. They had better come with a reach around and several happy endings.

favorite comment "Anyone who knows wheels, know Vossen forged." Yes, we know they are garbage.
