There was arim repair place where Mike Norris was located a few years back. Not sure about the widening. Buy some bogarts or CCW's.....................

CCW bad rep? Never heard of them getting a bad rep! Just that their wheels are expensive. But Definently Worth it!

theres quite a few guys on the mustang site with bad sets.. they'll replace them but for the money spent to start driving and have a wheel begin to crack or have to use over an Oz. of weight.. i would be pissed..

The Only Place I Know Of Is In Houston And Another In Wisconsin, I Can Get You The Info If You Want, Just Pm Me. I Have Heard That They Take About A 1-1.5 Months To Get Done. Price Is I Belive $150 Per Wheel For 1.5-2 Inches Added On.
