[QUOTE="buddha93, post: 3060714, member: 6433"] As far as the wheel becoming weaker from doing this, I doubt it. This is nothing new, as many hotrodders have been doing this for years. The location of the cutting and welding is on the inner part of the wheel, which is probably where the least amount of stress is. The only way you would be able to tell if the wheel was widened is if you were real close and could see though the fins......not real noticable unless your looking for it. As far as can tell, they are very true. It's not a simple process of hacking one in half and then tig in more material. They used specialized machinery for this. I'm going to try and get them finished within the next few weeks, so I'll take a few more pics. I've put them next to my stockers with a well worn set of 275 BFG Drag Radials so you can see the footprint difference. [/QUOTE]
