Just curious, has anyone widened a 15x7 cookie cutter to an 8 or larger. Is it even worth the trouble? Reason I ask, I kind of have a soft spot for CC's, maybe there is a reason I haven't seen a set of wide CC's. Just not sure...

Thanks,
Ron

you will probably spend more on having it done than it would cost to go out and buy a 8x15 fuch...

you can probably find one for around 200..... how much does weidman charge per a wheel ?

Brant,
I paid him $1600 for the widening and the refinishing so I don't know. Race shoes really wouldn't need refinishing. I'm guessing at $200 - $300 for widening if he can do it. He would have to supply 4 Cookies to do it.

He told me about $175 to cut down a Gotti barrel to make it an inch narrower.
