Default Can I send wheels back to Fikse to widen them?

I am buying a set of 17x9.5? Anyone know if I can send them back to Fikse to be made 17x11? I can't see to get fikse's phone number to call them to ask?

Are they 3 piece? If so, then you can just get a wider lip/dish and keep the same centerpiece and make the wheel wider. Why don't you just email Fikse?

They are three peice wheels. You can send them back to be repaired, so I do not see why you wouldn't be able to send them back to be widened . . . . You can even call them. I have had very good luck with their customer service!

Have the number for them I can't find it. All they have on the site is a form you fill out to have them get back to you

Yes you can a buddy of mine was going to do that but the price to change his 9.5 to a 11.0 was like $400! If I remeber right about a year ago!
