I was wondering if it would be possible to take a set of empies 8 spokes and get them adapted to 16 in and a bit wider. For a flared car.

Could start with knock offs or the real 2 piece ones. 2 piece might be easier and cheeper in the long run.

Thoughts?

Any suggestions about shops that can do this?

the knock-offs crack as is so for sure you wouldn't want to add more stress to the centers by increasing the leverage on them.....


wrong website address (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

http://www.packracingproducts.com/acatalog...ite_Wheels.html

They show only 16x7 and 16x8, but they might have larger wheels available special order......another option is to have these widened by a professional, cost is about $150 per rim
