Wider rear wings

Anyone know where i could get some wider rear wings?
I have two sets of GTS wide ones already but even at 11" they wont go over my 17" wheels. I figured it will be cheaper to change the wings than buy a new set of wheels.

I'm not sure how good they look but have you seen the way Robin Hood do it on their car?

Only the outer couple of inches is GRP, the main 'flat' area of the wing is ali sheet presumably, therefore, you can adjust the width.

Could you modify yours by inserting an ali section in the middle maybe?

Hope that helps,
James

EDIT:

Just remembered DAX! Their wings are huge (or atleast appear to be! )

The Mirach uses big arches, they are what i've used on my Furore. Front tyres ae 245x50x18 rears are 285x45x18 (on mine that is - the Mirach uses !7's). I can search Robs number out if you want it?





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1
