Message	Here is another update: My wide body project is coming together. I sent my wheels out to James at Weld Craft Wheels in Plymouth, Michigan. He did a great job taking my rear 19x9.5 wheels and adding 2.5" to the front lip for a 5"deep dish. Now they are 19x12. The wheels are now finished (fine sanding and polishing) by the Wheel Doctor in Fairfield, OH; and they look great. I have the tires and had them mounted. I like the rears allot, but I am not too crazy about the width of the tread on the fronts. I have the Toyo Proxes T1R. 315/25/19 rears and 225/35/19 in front. I will be making use of my Tein Coilovers as well so the wheels fit real nice in the wells. :) I am having custom Z wheel center caps made by James Kosowski. It will be a Z logo that is recessed in the aluminum cap. Like this: You can vistit James website at [ [ www.weldcraftwheels.com ] ] My car will be pictured on there after all is completed. 3 months from now. and visit the Wheel Doctor at: [ www.wheeldoctorohio.com ] Now... on to the pictures PICTURES BELOW: Wheels before finishing 01 Wheels before finishing 02 Wheels before finishing 03 Wheels before finishing 04 Off to the wheel doctor Back from the wheel doctor in back of Z Very nice job on the polishing and clear powder coat Back from the wheel doctor Tires arrived from tiresdealsforless.com Tire next to 19x12 finished wheel Tire next to 19x12 finished wheel again Back from mounting tires Toyo T1R Tires on wheels Toyo T1R Tires on 19x12 wheels measured 5" lip Close up of tread Lip with my key and a $5 Wheels on porch This is what she will look like when completed
