It'll be a lot flusher then when it's rolled. Probably not the cheapest way but it's more effective then a rolled fender imo.

Kristi I saw the wheels Tommy's getting. Looks like Work Varianza T1S style wheels.

OK is it still getting welded after being cut?


Work Varianza T1S, those are some cool looking wheels

I'm not sure what there process is. I think they are just cutting it, sanding it smooth and coating the bare metal. Not sure if they're welding or not. I'd like to know as well though.

Hey Jason,

You should try metals4U 214-231-1434. Their warehouse is across the street from my job.
http://metals4u.com/

Not sure if they have Tee angle but its worth checking.

I don't know how I'd make it through a day of work without my iPod, iTunes, and the internet. I feel sorry for those who are restricted from having some sort of secondary entertainment to pass the day.
