Just got my wheels back from Weldcraft!!
Hello,
I just got my wheels back from Weldcraft, and wanted to share. All I can say is wow!! Weldcraft does amazing work!! From pictures I've seen, I didn't expect the welds to look so perfect. These are MRR GT5 wheels that I bought from Dennis(C5 Bearsfan). They were 20x10 with a 20mm offset. I had them widened 2", and now they're 20x12 with a 44mm offset. I bought these to go under my L5 2" flares. I will have the 345 25 20 Pirellis installed this week, and will share more pics(I have to repaint the areas widened first). Here's some pics:
Thanks for everyone's help and their time

Those are some badazz looking wheels. Looking forward to seeing them mounted on the car.

Thanks for all the compliments I can't wait to get this project complete, I'm very anxious. I've gotten the L5 fenders, and Tigershark rear bumper installed, I've just got to get the wheels/tires on, and the front bumper mounted so I can put her back on the ground. I wanted to have everything done by April, but it's looking like May before I can get it to the body shop
Here's how she looks now:
I want it all done already so I can take her out, I just keep forgetting it's still winter
They charge by the wheel size. It's $225 for a 19", and $250 for a 20" wheel. That includes up to 3" of added width.
I'm not sure as this will be my first 19/20 combo. She's more of a cruiser than a racer so I'm not really concerned
Thanks again for all the positive comments
