A lot of times the tapers ( where the lug nuts contact the wheels ) are in poor shape on highly used wheels - although they might not look it. Fastest 300

Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

I know there is a guy in Michigan somewhere that will build you any width you want. His wirk looks really nice, I want to say it was diamond wheel or something like that

I waited 5 months till I got mine back and they gave me attitude. Try some one local. That was my experience too. Maybe 15 years ago. I was told 2-4 weeks. 6 weeks passed and I called, I was told they were boxing them as we speak. 2+ weeks and I called again. I was told they were going to build them this next week. I canceled and it took months to get my deposit back. Last edited by fox; 06/23/09 01:35 PM.

Wheel Works 1703 N. Rte.130 Burlington, NJ 08016 Tim Smith 609-387-4488 Card says alloy and aluminum rims repaired and widened. Last edited by VL21; 06/30/09 11:55 AM. It takes gasoline to interest me.

Anyone for a 14" wide steelie with poverty caps? -Bill Seduce the attractive, and charm the rest. ****** 489 C.I.D., roller cam, aftermarket heads, tunnel ram, stock '54 Dodge rear axle assembly: which of these doesn't belong?

He doesn't ship anymore, so you have to catch him at a show or pick them up. He stocks 15x8 - 4" backspacing, but will make any back spacing you want. Very reasonable (1/2 the price of Stockton). We put them on our old 64 Ply. 5325326-64Charline2.jpg (42 downloads)
