Who will do a set of flipped 15x8 rims for me and what is the rough price if anyone has done it, i asked a few places and they said no, because of their insurance. (in case a rim cracks while im driving they can be liable they said)
I have the rims at home ready to go.

Just out of interests sake, how much backspace are you looking for?

5'' spacers
holly fark, did you custom make them or bolting a spacer to another spacer?
Hoping it was a typo.

remember that once they are done, you'll need to re-paint / powder coat them too. I did mine but would have just bought them pre-done from Procomp except that they didn't clear the front brake calipers.
If the procomp rims will clear the calipers on ur 60 then sell the rims u have and get these ones pre-modified... it'll save no end of hassle
