I was looking into ricer wheels, but I haven't seen anything that gives 'me' wood.
For the "installed" price ($1800 canadian, guesstamate W/rubber) I may as well do a 5-bolt up-grade. But I want to do a big four first. I have these real nice looking Empi sprint-stars on my teen and I need new rubber. They are 5 1/2" and I'd like to get 205's, but want them it look right. They stick out about 3/8" more than a fuch's and have no issues with the 185's that came on the 914. So can I cut them on a lathe and weld in an inch? Is there anyone that has does this? how much? Is it worth it or should I jut get 195's for now? BTW this isn't one that's on the teen, I have 10 of them. Attached image(s) |
