Looking for a place that widens wheels... It's kind of a "lost art" from the hot rod days.

Looking to have a set of OEM aluminum 13in BMW wheels widened on the inside from 13x5.5 to 13x8.

Maybe looking into having some dish added to a set of 13 in steelies in the future.






And yes, it can be done, there's a couple companies that do it accross the country, I'm just trying to avoid shipping. UPS couldn't ship a grill without bending it in half (Then blamed it on insufficient packaging) and Fed-Ex couldn't ship a tail light (crushed it almost flat) So I don't trust them with shipping my wheels.

hmm i'd like to know this as well. I'd love to have my stock 15's widened to 8.5 or 9.

haha yeah it's a euro thing

j/k

It's not all too expensive, the going rate for steelies for the out of state companies are about $100rim, not sure for aluminum, but I'd much rather stay local. I hate shipping companys.

i only heard of a wheel repair shop in maryland around here

think a machine shop could cut u a piece out?? and maybe even weld it for ya? or atleast cut it out?

AutoXinVR6

Yeah...

Looking for a place that has experience because from what I hear it's extreamly hard to keep the wheel true when welding it back together...

I might have to suck it up and ship 'em.

who did you find who does it for $100 each if u ship them?

Someone posted a shop here in drag nova before, they had a turbo is300. so that might help with the post search
