Found a place that will widen cookie cutters somewhat reasonably. Either on the inside of the wheel or the outside. I know where I want it widened, but my question is what does the extra inch do? Does it make the cantilevered slick stay flatter or ? Do you want the wider wheel in the front (?) or just the back? JP.... time for you to jump in here! |

I would not spend the time & effort to widen cookies.....nor would I have confidence the widened wheels. 8 X 15 Fuch are about 150 bucks ea if you wait/shop......not pristine, but track wheels.

Your right JP. Think I'll stick with 7inchers, but look for some lighter wheels. Now the question, which light weight wheels are good and how much do they weigh/ cost? I'll have to stop down at Jongbloed Wheels, check out their stuff and put up a report. |

I would think set of 15x7's would be cheaper. Hey talk to Rob maybe he'll sell my old ones. http://www.jongbloedracing.com/ This post has been edited by grantsfo: Sep 4 2009, 12:37 PM |
