I found my dream wheels!!!:seizure: But, they are not made anymore:doh:
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/breyton/breyton.jsp

Question is I found a set on craigslist and they are for a BMW.
The bolt pattern will work but I would like to make the wheel wider and change the offset to fit my 70 chevelle.

ANYBODY HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WITH REHOOPING A 18'' WHEEL?

IS IT WORTH THE TROUBLE?

WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO MAKE IT 18X11?

P.S. THE WHEELS IN THE PICS ARE NOT THE WHEELS IM LOOKING AT, BUT A SET ON EBAY HAD BETTER PICS

THANKS!!!!

There is this place that is close to me that repairs wheels. I have never used them and have no idea what it would cost. But have heard good things about them.

Call James at Weldcraft, they just made me a pair of 18 x 12 Minilites out of 17" minilite centers...they can pretty much do anything!

isn't that their imagine wheel? i can't believe that they're discontinuing them. before you buy them and have weldcraft modify them, be sure to check out TSW's wheel offerings. similar styles to breyton and buying them ready made might be cheaper than modifying the breytons. $0.02

Try this place http://www.esajianwheels.com/home.php

I had him move my centers / change the backspace on my wheels a couple of years ago and he did great work and it was only a week.
