I just thought of this... narrow your factory Evo wheels to 7" wide

Weldcraftwheels' response to my inquiry:

Hello,
Your looking at $175.00 per wheel to do and three weeks max turn around time here.
We cannot modify the wheel in the picture though .. wheels need to be true to start with.
Thanks
James

My old spacers were 2.5 lbs each with the studs. I use to have a set of 17x7 Center Line RPM wheels that only weighed 13lbs each but you had to run the spacers up front.

BTW- The wheels from Indy Performance in PR mentioned above would need spacers. Finally talked to the owner.

They are Konig Daylites. I got them for right around $500 new off of ebay. The rims are 16lbs and the tires are 14lbs (according to my home scale). You will need spacers for these as well, so they might not be the best choice for what you're wanting.
