OK so I have a set of C5 Wagon wheels off a mid to later 90's Corvette. The wheels are in really good shape but the problem I have is the 17" front wheels don't clear my 14" C6 style rotors.

My thought was I should be able to have these wheels made skinny enough like 4" that with the 2" adapters that I have they will be able to fit on the front and I can use them as track wheels.

What do you think?

I've priced it our and it looks like it would be about $75 / wheel to have this done. Do you guys think its worth it? I've tried to sell them but haven't gotten much interest...

If anyone happens to be interested in buying please speak up I have brand new tires all around on these.p

Would only be $150 actually cause I only have to change the dimensions on the front rims.
