Where are you Dee? If near the Poconos, I could suggest the shop that does
all the race cars that come to the shop. If finesse counts toward
lightweight BBS' on cars with wheel/tire combos costing more than I make in
some months..

And, unfortunately I think the weights have no regards for aesthetics, it
kinda depends on where the out of round is.. Many wont fit by calipers so
the racers get an ugly metallic tape over the outer lip, but street cars can
compromise.
