    Default Adding a lip to a wheel?

    Is it possible for me to add a lip to a rim? I have some wheels that are 17x7.5 all around, but i would really like my rear to be 17x10

    Does anyone know if its possible, and where and how much? Thanks a lot

    Yea Paul I saw the same thread on vortex where some dude added a lip to his steelies. I was wondering if there was a place around here that would do it and how much it would cost

    Hey Drupason, i love the wolfsburg wheels!!!

    you could do it on any type of wheel, but the chances of getting them put together and straight are slim and if you cut/weld an aluminum wheels odds are it'll break in no time. buy real wheels, it'll end up being cheaper.

    Cool, thanks for the info. The problem is, i can't find those wheels with those offset. They only come in 17x7.5

    O well, i just wanted to know if it could be done. Thanks for the info and the input

    Its not being cheap you stupid son of a bitch. It's asking a fucking question.

    What if there was a set a wheels that you really liked but didn't have the offset you needed, wouldn't you ask questions?

    I already have the rims, so being cheap and buying rims is not the problem at all. Finding a bigger lip for my rear is the problem. I'm not gonna settle for something i dont want
