#015 will be shipped for special tweaking. The MadArch widebody will be modified into a Ferrari replica...NOT! I have a several drawings that will enhance the kit. I think it will look better than #020, but will see.
Digging, I found my old PIAA fog lamps (the large one on the left).

Testing a 19x9 on #015 today. Looks good and the wheel appears to be either at or just passed the lip. It fit perfectly for #011.

I've been looking for a set of Niche Pultec rims for many years now. I finally found two wheels on Ebay for a cheap price. My work car wheels are 18x7 (baby-ish), but these are 18x8.5. When I purchased them they were chromed. I sent the wheel to a shop in southern CA. Here's the first wheel prior to boxing it up to me for delivery.
Wheel Dynamics straighened the wheel (slightly bent) and re-chromed the outer lip and re-painted the center piece. They forgot to paint the center cap, but will complete the task once I send them the other wheel. The color is slightly off, but they tried to match the color using my center cap. The wheels are a two piece design and are aluminum made in Japan. I bought the wheels in 1999 and I should've bought two extra wheels just in case you happened to break a wheel beyond repair. I'll use the wider wheels in the rear. I decided to have the lip chrome since polishing wheels is nice, but not on a work car.[This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 05-19-2012).]

Great company here in Anaheim that fixed a pair of Niche Pultec wheel I got cheap on Ebay late or early this year. The wheels were slightly bent with road rash and were all chromed. I had them strip the chrome, fix the warped wheel, and re-chrome the other lip. The result are great! As you can see they tried to match the color, but it's close enough. This is what happens when you buy off the shelf wheels-they don't make them anymore.
Anyway, the two rear wheels are 18x8.5 vs. 18x7 and the outer lip are a tiny bit wider. Also, I got tired of hand buffing my wheels every six months or so. Anyway, I just need to mount them and I'm all good. I'll have the fronts re-tweaked too. The company is called Wesden wheel works. I tried local shops and they didn't want to touch the wheels and HRE doesn't work on other wheels except their own.
The stock front wheel in need of a serious polishing.
