    Can anybody tell me who sells 16" and bigger X 10" wide O.E.M Look alike steel wheels? I've seen some out there but don't know where they get them from.

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Actually I need 16" and bigger because 15" won't clear my caliper.

    Do as others do, cut the wheels apart and add whatever you need for width and weld'em back up. Theres been 'how to' threads on here that'll take you thru the process.

    I'm actually considering buying the wheel shell and just adding the insert but how safe is that is the question.

    Sounds good I'll send him a PM. Thanks

    Although I'd rather buy some done and ready to go.
     
  13. Welded properly, as safe as any store bought wheel if not safer.

    It doesn't sound like a width issue but is a diameter issue.

    yep! plus, chances are, your OEM wheels are riveted, not welded.
