Anybody know of shops in the area that widen wheels, or repair them?

I personally use Transwheel Corp. in maryland for refinishing, fixing bends and cracks etc. Ye Old Wheel Shop does the same thing and is a little bit close to nova. Wheel Worx is in Maryland also, but I have had nothing but problems with them so far. For the widening part, I have no idea...good luck.

 

I never heard of widening wheels.

 

the widening is easy to do, but i heard it's a really bad idea...otherwise i'd get mine widened to 9" all the way around

 

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll call those places tomorrow....

I picked up a set of Volk Superfins from Japan for my 7, but they're not wide enough, and have definitely seen better days... only paid 200 bucks though...

nice...let me know how the widening goes cuz i'm definately interested in putting an inch on my BBS

 

It's easy to widen like 3 piece wheells isn't it? At least i know a few people who I think have done it w/ like BBS RS's

 

ive heard widening wheels is bad for them....

 

yeah i have BBS RK 1 piece, but i think it is bad for them structurally...i'm interested in widening the rear to 9" wide so my tire stagger will actually be on staggered wheels

 

I don't understand why it would be bad for them... if done right, the weld should be stronger than the two pieces of metal being welded...
