Just wondering how much it would cost roughly to get some wheels widened a couple of inches.
I have heard various things about it not being possible but have stumbled across a set online
that have been widend. So it got me thinking, there is a MINT set of rare as startlet wheels that would look sex on my
celica but are only 5" across. Seeing as ill have a 1uz running in it, I figured I'd need a bigger foot print.
Maybe about 7". If anyone has done this before I'd be interested to find out more.

unless you have a shop close by that makes rims, don't get it done. They are almost impossible to get the balance correct w/ a shop that thinks that they know what they are doing. Just buy wider rims.

Theres a couple big name places here in the US that do it like Weldcraft and Stockton Wheel Co but I'm sure someone down there does it. From what I've read its around $150 USD per wheel at Weldcraft
