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 |

Yes. Harvey Weidman in Oroville, CA. Weidman Wheels is the name of the business. He is an artist!!
Here is a set of 8.5X16 Fuchs on the rear of my car that he did for me... It takes two 6X16 to make each one. Attached image(s)

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. |
