I got some 17's, want to maybe modify them...
I want to have a small lip/dish added to them... so they will be wider as well..
This might be way to expensive, but could look great and be unique...
Has anybody done this or has anybody got any reference etc.?
Appreciated.
How do i add a pic? is this a blond Q... can't seem to..
It can be done. It's pricey though.
I've recently had a set of 18's taken for a PCD change. They had to weld up the holes, redrill the right PCD, and then repaint the wheels and polish the dishes again. Cost me like R4500 in total I think.
To widen a rim will cost R1600each. This includes repainting them etc. You can also have your 17" turned into an 18" I believe. The disch will just be "flared" a bit more. Will cost roughly the same so may as well do that if you do it.
I used hi-tech mag repairs. They're not the cheapest but the quality of the work is important as your wheels are all that are keeping your car off the tar...
wow man, cool, thanks for the input...
Are they in CT or JHB? If in JHB, I need a CT contact...
Anything on uploading an image so I can show you?
Thanks again.
They're in JHB.
for CT your best bet is to start at this forum:
http://www.nissanownersclub.co.za/forum/index.php
AS for uploading pics, you need to host them on a site like
www.photobucket.com or www.streetneeds.com
Then once you've loaded in onto there you post it here as a link.

Very nice mags.

Imagine them in 18" or even as is 17" but with a little dish....
Thats what I would like to do.... like 2 inch dish in front and then slightly more at the rear.
Don't want to compromise on the safety of the wheel though... so quality work will be preferred...

Awesome!
I spoke to the dudes at the tec mag place, they said they can make the wheel a 18".....
What you guys think, should I stick with 17 and just widen the wheel with the dish? or do widening and stepping, 18".
widen it dude, will look awesome...
the guy i got my car from did it on the back so now i can put a 235 - 245 on
looks hawt as VC would say
but tyres are $$$
In Bellville close to PowerFlow.
Drive all the way down Jip de Jager drive untill you cross Tienie Meyer, There is a Shell garage on your left, keep on going, the road turns left and the place is on your right.
Can't remember the name tho!

Cause 19 inch tyre are almost double 18" tyre prices 😂 😮
and so???
ha ha ha ha, 19" joh.... haven't really thought of that, like that....
suppose they can hey, they do a "step up" as the dude said and then add a dish. 5cm rear, 3 cm front, yumee! the STAGED LOOK.
he said in the region of 1600 to 1900 a wheel for stepping and dishing.
Yes, you right... that place close to powaflow, mag wheel repair centre... will check their number, phone them and report back to you all.
I must be honest... I will be happy with 18", 19 is to much for me, and 17 just to little...
then go to gallery,
some nice examples there, crap photos though.
