Wider Thin spokes options
Simply put, I like mine and how they look on my vert.
Most repros are heavy so I would prefer to have my 18's widened if it is possible. Has anyone done this? If so, please tell me where and by whom. You can pm me if you need to if they are not a vendor.
Thank you for your time.

Don't Know just yet. That will be one of the questions I will ask if and when I find someone that can do it.
This wont be something I will just jump into. There will be lots of questions that I will need answered.

Well, you stated that the repros are heavy, so what exactly is heavy? I think it will be interesting to find out what a widened wheel weighs, and what it will cost to have it done, compared to buying a repro in a 10.5. I'm going with the mid america thin spoke in the 10.5" size so I can match my current setup, and go with a bigger drag radial.
