Hi guys! long time no talk....

If I say... had a set of 5.5 inch wide empi BRM's, is there any such workshop that could widen them substancially to like 7.5 or 8 inch?

Or am i dreaming?

Or are there suppliers that sell that kinda look wheels for vw in wider variations...?

thanks lads,
Chris.

There are a couple of places on the GC that can do that type of work.
Yellow pages will find them.

Yep, a guy I know modified his Empi 8 spoke from 5.5 to 8" at an engineering shop on the Goldie. Any more than that I would need to find out for you.

N/A in wider off the shelf.
