If you're serious:

Calculate the barrel to lip ratio, for example: on a hypothetical wheel that actually uses different barrels to change the offset with the mounting pad exactly in line with the rear of the face: a x10 +50 offset would mean a 6.97" barrel and 3.03" lip (given that the face mounts in the lip and not between the lip and barrel). You can use that to figure out what starting width and offset you would want to use. This can work in your case, although the Blitz 03s use a different mounting pad thickness to adjust offset, different widths will allow you to run a larger lip with your desired offset. I don't know the exact lip to barrel ratio used on this particular wheel, but its quite obvious that a thinner, high offset example would be an ideal starting point to re barrel which is in your favor as these tend to be mush cheaper. Some wheels that are "welded" are actually soldered and can be taken apart by heating up the filler metal on the seams.

i hope this makes sense, fuck drinking hella coffee late at night.
