[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 10696887, member: 9628"] I spent additional $$$ that most would not spend...........I did not want to cut up my original Super Snake Alcoa's that came with my car as part of the original build, so I first of all had to find a second set of "Super Snake" logo'ed Alcoa's for surgery, and then narrow my plan of attack. I have probably $5K total including the spare set of Alcoa's, maybe a little more. The widening cost me $712 including shipping and $100 of that was smoothing the welds on the inside. This $5K (or so) does not include the new Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's in 275/35 and 335/30 that I also test fitted. As for structural questions, I would have to refer them to the people who widen the wheels. WeldCraft has been doing wheels for years, and some far wider than 9" to 12". WeldCraft services the full spectrum from cars show-street cars to drag racing to road racing. I would think that if there were issues with their process of widening, the WeldCraft reputation would have gone in the tank years ago. For my use, car shows, street sprints, I will be on the much lighter side of what their wheels have been put through. R [/QUOTE]
