Go with Stockton Wheel, they do it all the time. If you send them to Harvey, he will send them to Stockton Wheel. The last time I talked with him he said he did it at cost if you were having a set refinished by him.

You will need to specify a backspace. Don't use the word 'offset' with the guys from Stockton. If you have him refinish the wheels, ask Harvey to help spec the wheels. I just measured off of a set standard 7" fuchs, but I don't remember the number.

I paid $35 each for cores from Parts Heaven for mine. Stockton's price to widen and powdercoat was $165 per wheel, IIRC.

The turbo cars were delivered with a different wheel on the spare than what is pictured above. There is a pic of the turbo spare in an old thread I started about steelies somewhere. I've never seen it written anywhere, but my expectation is that the regular steel wheels will not have clearance for turbo brakes. Sourcing Turbo spares as cores is going to be more difficult than the regular steelie cores.

They are going to be really heavy. My cores probably weight 15# each. I expect them to be much heavier after they are widened to 7".

FWIW, the 'Minilites' that are available now are not real lightweight either.
