the white ek looks dope as shit... not to big on stretching tire at all (doesnt appear to be stretched much anyways) but that first pics just makes me love how it looks for some reason

I looked into them, but not worth the money imo.
That dude with the white ek sold his widened steelies for over a grand.

Again I'm not talking about buying them I'm talking about people who have made their own. I would like to take on the task seems like it will be a nice challenge.

Basset, Aero, Diamond star wheels all sell a steel wheel with any off set or lug pattern, nascar wheels lol.
I dont see cutting an oem steel wheel and re welding it to safe lol, just buy 85 dollar wheel that is safe.

ya i dont really see the benefit unless you can do it yourself or have lots of money to pay someone else to make your wheels heavier.
