My wheels got upset and went on a week long eating spree, they doubled in size!

Oh my lol. What's the width now? They look massive. What are you going to be putting these on or just for display?

15 x 10 with around a 30 - 35 offset. they have a 3 1/8 lip. they're getting rubber in the AM, then they will be going on the car :3

im going to run them occasionally - im stretching rubber on them pretty fierce and i personally don't feel comfortable mobbing these back mountain roads on my way to work wearing them lol.

100 per wheel - he's actually remaking them right now free of charge as they had a few issues he didn't feel right about. great guy - i hope i'll be able to give him the publicity he needs to get more done. this was the widest he's done so far, he had to try a new thing to get them to 10 inches wide. :)

Where'd you have them done? I saw some dude on a portland.craigslist that'll do 'em.

Pics!!!

Are you sure it's only 35mm offset? Looks like you added 5 inches to the back side which would make them something like 125mm offset?

Thats the guy! i figured why not, give it a shot. i talked to him for about a week prior to make sure he was actually up to the task and had the proper tools. he's a fabricator by trade, so i feel pretty confident. texted him earlier, he's done with the new ones. He's going tomorrow morning to make sure they balance better and aren't wobbly, or leaky.

steve - the new ones have a 3 3/8th lip, and i think offset is measured from the dead center of the wheel(someone correct me if i'm wrong!). upon doing my math right now, which i should have done it earlier, my current setup should be +41 mm....which makes the first ones + 44.5 mm.
