The next time one of us has a front wheel off we need to measure the mounting pad, to edge of the barrel, that will give us offset.
IE: 8 inch wheel =203.2mm /2 to get center of the barrel. =101.6 is the center line of the wheel in mm so the pad needs the measured to edge of the barrel then subtract from the 101.6

Just an update. I called these guys since they are semi local:
Wheel Repair By Adam
10952 Harry Hines Boulevard
Dallas, TX 75220-1316
(214) 357-5762
wheelrepairbyadam.com
Quoted me 165.00 each to repair the Zeus wheels. They will Tig the rashed areas to replace missing material then have a CNC machine that will cut them back to spec. Obviously for curb rash it's very minimal. They check to make sure they are true, etc. Then they will refinish the wheel back to the stock finish.
They told me it takes about 3 days, you can bring them the whole car and they will store it for you and do the turnkey job, bring them wheels/tires and they will remount/balance or just bring them the wheels, doesn't matter to them.
Guess I could put it on jacks for a few days and do brakes at the same time... and a fuel filter.
I'll probably wait until I have some miles on the Nexxens that are on there now so I won't feel so bad for chunking them in favor of some good tires...Conti, BFG or whatever I decide.

Now.. there's the Stern wheels like Jaggyx runs on his X.
Victoria Wheel and Tire lists a ton of wheels for the R...IF they are truly correct in backspace/offset.

That's about the same as I was quoted including the dismount/mount & balance.
Mine had minor rash, no welding required so I touched them up myself.
