[QUOTE="427Windsorman, post: 4560125, member: 1970"] This is the latest reply from the wheel company I approached on this: [COLOR="Red"]Doug, There are a few items which you need to address when looking at this wheel, let me point them out (kind of like devils advocate): 1. A deep dish means that the drop center gets smaller. This is where often the IRS bolt on the drivers rear rubs. 2. There is no dish on the 9's (oe size). Thus you can not machine the lip at all. This is not a problem on chrome, but if you want a wheel with a painted face and a machined lip it is. The rear would have a machined lip and the front would not -- this would look very odd. 3. Volume and price. This obviously would be a new tooling. We have no problem doing a new tooling but we need to know that about 2000 wheels are going to be produced. If not the price goes up. Just some items to think about. Other than that, can I make it light weight? Yes. Thanks for the update.[/COLOR] So, it looks like there would be some issues with the front wheel having a lip, and also with making the rear wheel fit without spacers on IRS equipped cars. [/QUOTE]
