We're looking for a set of widened rear wheels for Kristi's Marauder.
Would also consider a pair of good stock wheels that we will widen ourselves.

Thanks very much,
Rick

Pardon the newbie-ness.
What's PVD?

Interested.

Physical vapor deposition (PVD) describes a variety of vacuum deposition methods which can be used to produce thin films. PVD uses physical process (such as heating or sputtering) to produce a vapor of material, which is then deposited on the object which requires coating.

Thanks for the info.

I'll need wheels that exactly match the stock fronts in appearance.

I'm guessing these are the already-widened ones mentioned in another thread. Would you consider separating the tires and wheels?
How much?

I have a spare set of wheels I'd like to have widened. I did a quick search but do we have a vendor for this? I was out of the loop for 4 years but I'm pouring money into mine again.

Weldcraft, Detroit, Michigan ..approx. $250 per wheel for 1.5 inch added plus shipping. could take 4-6weeks.

This is their slow season they said.

They had this set done in under two weeks.

Awesome!!! The car has four wheels on it but is driven 3K a year. I have 2 extra wheels that I "lucked into" with tires. I'll get them sent out and then buy tires when I am ready for a set. Thanks guys! It's good to be back!

With Jerry's direction, Weldcraft widened our rear wheels. Weldcraft's work is superb - the wheels balanced beautifully and even hold air.
Highly recommend. :2thumbs:

you are in CA. Ever try Pico? they are in CA. and widen wheels. I believe Chris at ADTR.NET uses them.

I dont know the contact at Weldcraft as mine were already widened by then. Jerry surely knows
