Tim at Wheel Works has been good to me the last 20 years, and he knows his way around Fuchs.
Might be more local for you. He has no web site. http://maps.live.com/localsearch/default.aspx?what=wheel+works&where=Florence%2c+NJ&s_cid=ansPhBkYp01&mkt=en-us&ac=false not cheap, upwards of $150/wheel Bill K

Harvey Weidman at Weidman's Wheels.
530-534-7903 He can make 7R and an 8R. Given the price of 8's it would be cheaper to buy the 8's and sell your 6's. |

I don't get that thought. If it cost me $150 (based on another poster, could be higher or lower) per wheel to do, that's $300. Selling my 6"s would get me what $400? You aren't touching a pair of 8"s for less than $1K.

I have some 8's that I would let go for much less than a $1k.
