CHEAP ad GOOD Wheel widening/backspacing

Here's the business card of a great gentleman. He is retired and works out of his home shop. He repairs, widens, narrows, backspaces wheels...and not for $200 a pop..but $30 a pop, and guarantees his work. He does all the local racers in his area. Anyway, here's my wheels after and his info...

but he can do only up to 17" wheels and only steel...

Re: CHEAP ad GOOD Wheel widening/backspacing

It's so good to see a business owner that doesn't charge an outrageous price to solve a problem.
Too many business owners are greedy to the point of ruining peoples finances just to make themselves unnecessarily wealthy.
A good example is auto mechanic shops who charge the same price as the dealership with a fraction of the overhead but they charge it because everyone else is doing it.

Re: CHEAP ad GOOD Wheel widening/backspacing

Great info. I would actually like to have the backspace adjusted so the newer steel wheels could fit my 70. Gonna have to give him a call.
