Reproduction rims Finally ;), THEY HAVE ARRIVED 12-3-03 Read

[ttypewhite]

I have my 2 back (Front GTA rims, those are the wider lip ones) on my T-type. I believe they are a 16 x 8.5" rim. How much would it cost me to widen it to 10"? Will you add the extra 1.5" to the front lip( thats were I would like to see it)? My car is being stored for the winter, so I could ship them to ya ASAP.
Also whats your turn around time on widening these 2 rims?

I have a GNX (Not Mine I wish)we just took correct measurements off of.
I have 1 set being done to 10" rear & correct GNX size in the front.
When you say cutting down to 15X10 are you saying taking a 16" & making a 15" rim to 15 X 10?
It would be most cost effective to find a ragged set of look a like 15 X 8 & have those redone to 10" & repaired.Then powder coat the center.

T rims are done & pics will be up tomorrow. 2 weeks tops you will see the GNX rims up.

I know I said they would be up by a week ago just tough taking care of the GN rims plus getting the T rims going & the GNX at at the same time.

its one richards clarks gnxs. i think they are "ARE "or "ENKIE" rims and not sure the modifications but i do know that he has 305/50-15 on the back and because of the fender flares, they do not stick out.

My suggestion would be to find a set of 15" ARE or Enkie & have them widened & redone if necessary.Cutting a 16" down to 15" would be labor intensive.The least expensive way would be to find a 15" set of rims.We can do any offset & width you need.

T-type wheels GNX soon!

We have been doing the GN wheels for a few months now.T-type wheels are up & ready.GNX wheels will be here shortlly.15 X 10 t wheels are available but limited due to finding the 8.5" vectors. We can do them from stock T wheels just not cost effective.

15" X 7" are $600 a set with cores.shipping normally runs about $60 a set of 4.I can have your cores picked up by our shipper so you don't have to run out & ship.You still have to pay the shipping.There is just no hassle.

Matt they will be here Thursday.

i'll be buying a set of the GNX ones when there done, if i sent my 87gn rims back to you (in very good condition) how much are you expecting the GNX rims to be for 4?

 

[sowle]

Bweavy, will the off-set of the GNX wheels fit our cars even though we don't have the fender flares? Is this the optimum offset? I'm thinking in terms of an ultimatum street car-road car GNX wheel. Also , what about 16x9's for the rear? I haven't seen any-one inquiring about 9" rims.

Honestlly the reason I did this was not to destroy nice originals.
It was to take the trashed ones & save them & improve on them.If you have a nice set sell them!

GNX wheels will mainly depend on the off set Front or rears & what you want them spaced to. If you have a set of rears & want them widened they will run roughlly $200 each.There are some factors that will change this.If you want the wheel repaired to new or just need the center powder coated.Or you may just need it widened. I have a set getting done now.
When time & expense is figured out I will have them up.Hang in there

9" wheels can be done for the same price as 10's.With the 8.5 & the 10's there not any request for 9's.Just keep in mind these rims will be showing up as used in years to come.People ordering specialty off sets may have a little harder time selling then normal off sets.

GNX 10" wheels with 4.5 backspacing will fit the same as the 10" GN wheels.Fender flares will not be required.

I did have a talk with a customer today that had a mini tubbed stage 2 GN that may end up getting a little larger then 10" wheels.If he does I'll try to get pics posted should look bad ass!

 

[ttypewhite]

My rims were sent out to ya yesterday Brian. You should have them by Thursday at mid afternoon. Can't wait to see my GTA fronts widen to 10". I get a chub just thinking about it. Let me know when you recive my rims Brian.

 

[yruslow]

Was just wondering if you got any pictures of the GNX wheels to post? What are you asking for a set 16X8 and 16X9 for the rear? What kind of turn around to expect to get these?

 

[ttypewhite]

Hey Brian, hows your back hooking up? When I called you last week you said you through it out. Any more updates on the inserts? I just want to coordinate a rough time frame with the bodyshop to get my car in for paint, cause I want the rims painted the same colour as the car. Hope all is well.
