I grabbed some B7 wheels from a member on the 'zine.Split 5 spokes,17 x 7.5 et 45. My 16" stockies are 7" et 45. So, I lost 6mm of clearance to the suspension armwhich I wanted back. Stayed after work one night and made 4 of these. The nice lady at the platers hardcoat anodized them for me. As soon as I get it back on the ground from my brake recon, I'll post some pics of the car.

Thanks. I'm refered to as a Tool and Die Maker, which is sort of an old school term. Generally, I make parts on a CNC vertical milling machine. But, I can run other macines in the shop as well. The place I work at is considered a "job shop" which is to say we don't have a product of our own. We make parts to the blueprints that companies bring to us.
