Do a search in this section as this topic has been brought up more times than i can count...but the information is in here. Yes it can be done, and is done quite often these days. You have to consider though, that they cut your wheel then weld in another piece. If you show the car or are worried about looks, you will have to this about getting your wheels "re-finished" i.e. chrome wheels, you will probably have to get the weld sanded smooth and have them re-dipped.

They did those well, the weld is super cleaned up on the inner rim, and the outter rim will never be seen because of the tire

WHeels America they are in houston. don't know the number. my old man got a set of factory ss silverado wheels widened to 20x10.5's. It was 150 with his donor rim. I think its 200 with their donor rim to cut so make yours wheels wider. goodluck.
