Default Where to get custom wheel sizes?

Anyone know of any place that will build an already well established rim in a custom width? I'm looking for 17X9.5 and 17X11 Z06 rims, but can't find the 11 inch width. 10.5 in 18", but I want 17s...

Waitin on the 17x11 z06's also....If you build it they will come.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I know one of the sponsors looked at this but the initial order was going to be too expensive...sacrifice customer service for a quick buck.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

There is an alternative.

www.fixrim.com

Check out this website. They aren't a sponsor, so I hope I don't get in trouble, but none of the sponsor specialize in this area. They repair, rechrome, and widen. Yes WIDEN. Take the 17x9.5 and have them make it a 17x11. Voila! Hope that helps. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

p.s. there is one here in Houston!

The Houston shop doesn't have the correct tools (lathe) to cut the wheels with. Last check they were quoting 6 weeks to get a set widened. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
