Hey guys, so i posted a topic a couple weeks ago about tire and rim size question.
After doing some research i found the weldcraft site for custom rims and i am thinking of getting my 98 cobras widened. Looked at a couple other forums and the price per wheel doesnt seem like it was too bad. I believe its the same price to widen from a 1/2 inch to 3inch so im thinking maybe going 3 inches extra on the rims to put it to 17×11.
Any thoughts as well as ideas/previous interactions/personal experiences?

Is there a reason why you're attached to those '98 Cobra wheels? I wouldn't pay the money for it personally, not on those wheels.

I think you should just save up and get some better wheels

ur gonna pay $250 per wheel to get them widened.. You are better off selling those 98 cobras and adding the money together to get some better rims..

BUT if u 100% wanna keep those rims, then you found the right place.. weldcraft is probably one of the best for that..

I'd do it to some silver 99/01 cobras. It's all personal preference my dude. If you absolutely love those wheels do it. [patriot]
