    Yes if you don't mind please do. ronnie_bowen33@yahoo.com What I actually need is the factory rims widened and a center welded in for the GM 8 bolt pattern.

    Eh?! You mean you want to 1) widen the stock split rims, then 2) have an 8-bolt center welded in? Why wouldn't you just get an off-the-shelf 8-bolt rim of the width you want? Or am I missing something here?

    I like the look of the spokes or cut outs in the stock rims. I was gonna do away with split ring edge and have him weld in a stationary bead. I'm fixin to get a set of marsh wheels since he said it would be so expensive.

    Yeah, the stock center in a modern rim looks good IMO.
    But if you are going to swap the centers for a different bolt pattern, doesn't seem worth it.

    I dont have a dog in this but it would seem to me if you like the bud center look you could have your wheels built from the center sections of a 1 ton duelly. Just a thought.
