KKtrips Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Down in Wellingon the going rate is $70 to widen a steel a wheel and $35 for just changing the offset... If you get prices similar to this then I would go for it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozin Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 $70 per wheel is fine in my books, Steel Surgeon do nice work and I'll be using them for my project whenever I manage to find some goddamn XA Falcon hubcaps. Also OP - you should come along to a meet one time man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikuni Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 81 vc wagon And yeah, I've been quoted $110 to do them down here, so I'd jump at $70, especially if the place comes recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
