I used to have a # of a company that did custom wheels the would either make your wheels wider by sectioning youstock wheel or they could machine or cut the center section of your pyo and the would make an outer wide rim,heat the outer part and freeze you center section then mate the 2 and weld them on the back side to make some very nice wide pyo looking wheels.They did a 68 cutlass 442 rally wheels and they looked awesome and i asked the guy where he had them done and i had gotten the info but not sure where put it

Ive thought a long time about widening a set of PY0s but the price is prohibitive to say the least.

Why not just go with a set of RealWheels, Mark? http://www.realwheel.net/
IIRC, Merchant had a set custom made by them for the blue truck.http://www.realwheel.net/ A call wont cost you anything but your time.

Im not sure but my experiance with studing snowmobile tracks spining mass is a horsepower killer but its a trade off traction for weight just have to use the lightest material while retaining strengh.But this is nothing new.Im sure adding on to a pyo would probably be the best package but thats just a guess on my part.
Ive heard everything from 1.5-1 up to 10-1 value. Personally, I think its closer to 2-1 than anything, but Im not a physicist.
Give this a try:

Rick, I'm very interested as well. Let me know if you find something in aluminum that'll fit those slicks.
