Default Getting stock wheels widened

Hey y'all i'am selling my car and had a question about when I get a new car and widening the stock wheels. I will be getting an SS or WS-6 but i would like to keep the stock wheels for the street. M y question is im in south florida ( just moved here) and I dont know where I could get wheels widened? What type of place do you go to? Also what width could i go to? I would only like a 10-11" wide rim. Pictures would be great if anyone has them!!! Also how much would it run to have wheels widened? Thanks for the help in advance. Gregg

I'd only get my stock wheels widened if:

a) I absolutely thought the stock wheels were the best in the world
b) I won the lottery

It'll cost almost as much to get wheels widened as it would to buy new, aftermarket wheels.

I got two rear rims widened. Cost me about $300 each with spacers etc.

If you search "widened" you'll find a lot of info on where, why, when, and how much.
