Anybody know where i can get standard wide five wheels widened. I want to put an extra inch or inch and a half to put a 225/15 on while retaining the standard(maybe hotrod) look. Andy

Hi

Im not sure where you are (fill in your profile) but most major citys have people that widen wheels, the usual deal is they cut the centre out of your wheels and weld them into new wider rims.

Contact Vintage in Sydney they can get it done for you, but you will have to know what Off set you need to have and supply some good origional rims.

They might be able to advise you on the off set if you have a stock set up.

i've been quoted $100 per rim to widen,does that sound dear or is it the going rate?

I contacted a guy in sydney this week, he quoted $145 a rim,
Vintage price sounds good.
