I am thinking about making the OEM wheels 9.5" wide.

I kinda like the stealthy look.

Anyone else try this yet?

 

wtf? how the hell are you gonna do that?

 

Yes please explain...

 

i wanna know too ..

 

You simply cut them in half and weld in the difference.

Example: Stock wheel on the right, modified on the left.

 

wow... so much added weight.... but thats pretty impressive, never thought anyone would try something like this

 

Yes, a wider wheel/tire will add weight but it's worth it!

 

thats a great Idea for R3 wheels...

 

if it wasnt gonna be so expensive :X


with the added weight, it would be more worth it for me to get a set of rpf1's that are 9.5 but this is an awesome idea on its own IMHO
i wonder how much this thing would cost though...

 

wow,

would never drive that on a track, or above the speed limit, or hit a bump..


beers

 

I was running a set of black rpf1's last summer and they attracted too much attention.

This is why I need the sleeper look without having to run skinny tires.

The wheels in the pics above cost $200/ea to have modified.

 

that is a nice, if you decide to do it, good luck...i personally wouldnt do it...welding could sometimes be stonger, but this is aluminum...i dont know i have my doubts about this

 

hahaha, i wonder how reliable this is, some how, i wouldnt trust it, nice concept, iffy execution

 

im with swoope on this

 

could i get those wheels from you then?

 

I sold them last fall.

 

im saddened by this news

 

too much attention, WTF with rims? you better not be street racing....i honestly do see why you would have to sell your RIMS especially over too much attention

 

Cops are pretty bad about profiling here.

They never bug me when I have my winter wheels on.

 

oh damn, that sucks...+ you got that turbo. i can see clearly now

 

have fun with the offset u'd get from that

 

exactly what i was thinking.
wouldn't this result in essentially no change in offset? giving all the added width towards the inner side of the rim? unless you're planning to run spacers..

 

Dude you can get 18x10" tsw rims that kinda look like our oem rims.

 

Just avoid blinged out or race track looking wheels and the cops will not bother you. Have you looked around for wider wheels that look similar to stock?

 

could have just painted the RPF's silver...
