Call Eddco wheel, I just had some 17's fixed there. Their # is 619-258-2575. It might be a little bit to ship them, but a lot less than a new rim.

RT-Initially, when I got the rims and tires, I went with 245/35 18 in the back. Because of the offset on the rim(and the fact that I wanted a nice deep lip), that tire cleared fine. But, after the P-Zero's wore out quickly, I went wider. Now, with 255/35 18's, it looks better, but very rarely it rubs on the outside. When the momentum compresses the car and wheels at higher speeds, while going over a hump or a bump let say, the outside of the tire slightly rubs the outer fender. Easy solution is to get the inside of the fender slightly rolled. Like I said, its such a slight and rare thing that I haven't bothered.

TDokmo-How did it come out? There is a place locally that is highly recommended by the higher-end tuners and wheel stores. They supposedly do a great job. I trust the fact that they do good work, but how close to original can they get it?
How close did your come out? Is it possible to get it close to perfect?

Just the outside top of the tire against the well...not a problem really. It seems like the drivers side rubs the most. Again, it takes quite a bit to make the tire hit the fender well. I have driven over many bumpy roads without a problem.
