Title: Alloy wheel narrowing in UK?
Post by: jmarkha1 on June 13, 2011, 20:41:31 pm
I have a set of Aluminum Porsche Patten American Racing Ds in 7x15.
I want to narrow the fronts to approx 4.5 inch.
The section of the rim good for narrowing if I can find someone with a machine that can cut a ring out and then weld back together.
Any referrals for someone who has done this type of work - thanks...
