Any workshops that mod wheels (ie: widen rims?)
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.
