Thanks for the info Jim

That's a lot of work and looks incredible!

Jim are you saying you can extend the rears from 10" to 12.25"?

It costs less than replacing them (if you could even find them) and Jim's results are simply amazing!!

Couldn't agree more with Kevin's observations. Jim has done the wheels for my flachbau and 550 Maranello. When you get the wheels back you're so awestruck by the work you don't even think of the cost!!

Amen to that. As noted above, Jim's work and results are simply amazing!!! The Speedlines from my 3.6 Turbo will be on the way to him shortly (did you get that Jim?? That's my way of begging you to find time for them!! Lol).
