Thumbs up for Mavromont Industries, for going out of there way to help me out...
 

I was wanting to get some of there 17x8 Pony "R's" and have the rears widened by an inch. I called them to find out what the backspacing was, to see if it was possible. Demetrios said it was 5.5", which I figured was fine, maybe space the wheel out a bit and an inch more (6.5") could work. (I have opened up the inner fenderwells, removed the quadshocks and rolld the fenderlips.) So, I prodeeded to tell him what I was wanting to do, get some 17x8's in Chrome from him and send 2 out for widening. He OFFERED to send (at my expense, but still very fair and out of his way) 2 wheels to the widener, uncoated, and then he would send UPS to pick them up and when he received them, he would then send them out for chroming and then send to me. So where we stand at this point is the wheels have been widened and are in transit back to Mavromont. Just wanted to let everyone know. Thanks Demetrios and Mavromont!

I saw the a few pics of your car with the Welds. Looks good. Post some pics when you get the new rims put on.

BTW, who widens wheels? Just wondering...

Weldcraft Wheels Inc

Thanks for the compliments! I will post the pics when there on.

Thanks again...

I think you might have a problem with 6.5" backspacing though

Josh, do you even know what backspacing is?:)


John, thats really awesome of them to do. You VERY rarely get that kind of customer support these days. Try getting someone at Jegs or Summit to do something like that for ya. Yeah right!

I can't wait to see that thing when you're done with it.

Gonna be in Bowling Green? If so, i'm sure I'll catch up with ya somewhere there.
