Has anybody Ever got them widened? And / Or flipped the barrels / got them widened?

To anyone whos got their wheels widened in general, how much did it cost ?

Im looking for a place to do it locally. Pretty stoked i ran across this set and picked it up. Never though there would be a set for sale 10 mins from home I wish they were 18's but they are 17x8.5 / 17x9.5 +42 Either way, still excited!

They will be going on my FD.

I contacted vrwheels about purchasing the necessary outer lips & inner barrels so I can re-size one of my two sets of RE-Amemiya AW7's & it was $1200 just for those 8 pieces. I was going to contact wheelflip to see whats their price on these parts but haven't gotten around to it.

PM blimp on this forum, he had a stepped lip made for his AW-7's.

Pm'd him. Sent a few emails out to local rim repair shops here as well.

If you are re-barreling the wheels ask whoever is doing it for you to make a step lip to turn the wheels into 18 inchs. I am interested if you can find anyone local because I want to have my Oni's re-barreled, let me know what you find.

did you buy them off Kevin? lol. those are sweet.

A step lip would be sick... id love these to be 18's

Ill let you know. Try calling Kodiak Racing wheels im sure they will make some. They are my last option though because they are very, very expensive.. lol

Yeah I bought them from Kevin, they are awesome wheels, but the offsets are a little to aggresive for my tastes. I will give Kodiak a call, thanks for the tip.

TurboMazdaSpeed

No problem! Let me know what they say.

Dammit Kodiak does not do custom lips or barrels anymore. But they used to. They only sell their brand rims now..

so nowhere local does this i guess? That really bloody sucks.
