Remind me again....Lindsy Wheels....

Can't seem to remember and their website doesn't seem to address it. Can you send Lindsy a set of 6 or 7x16 wheels and have them build 9's and 11's for you???

TIA

I thought that Lindsay only built of 6's - True Design would build off 6 and 7's.

I had TruDesign make mine...I liked the angled section against the rim similar to 7s and 8s instead of the flat section as seen on the 6s....mine are 8 and 9.5....11s are available....the price is also better....and he powder coats the wheels instead of painting....although I painted over the powder coating to match my stripe that will be used on the car.

Check out Ryan Williams' (surflvr911sc) TruDesign brushed wheels. Those are some sharp looking wheels.

Both the 9.5s Jim made for me balanced with just the smallest amount of weight

Spoke with them a few months ago. They need 6x16s to convert to 17 inch wheels.

Lindsey will powdercoat.

While using 7's may be convenient, it requires the welding in of an additional band of material, IMO the Lindsey solution of using 6's is cleaner.

Lindsey welds look a lot nicer too.
