Got it priced the other day it's 77 to cut and flip at promac machine shop at Cardiff. Then it's 40 a rim to powder coat them but need to be sand blasted b4 powder coating. I gave up on it as I didn't want to spend that much to get an inch more offset then I have now

Hey 31zook, are you flipping to go positive (to decrease your track), like stock coily rims, instead of negative (to increase your track)?

Are you trying to conceal your wide tyres or something? - Or do you actually want the opposite to coily rims?

these rims, and yes i want the biggest wheel track i can get on them, so flipped with neg offset... and no a set of like 28s or 29x9.5s will go on them...

it is all fitting in with my new build idea....

i got a set of 7s flipped a few years back for my dualcab lux for $30 a rim.think hes charged other blokes about 50 tho.

Will the rim be wide enough to run bigger tread tho or not?Whats your plan?
