Default Wheel Widening in Texas?

I called Wheels America in Duncanville and they no longer offer wheel widening services.
Anyone know where I can get some 18x8" wheels widened 2" in Texas?

I just spoke to Jaime in Selma...said he can only go to 10.50" max.
Something about a missing/broken arm tool needed for the machine for those wanting 12-13" of width. They send the wheels to the Dallas location.
He told me to check in with him a couple of months once a solution is found.
$200 per wheel plus $50 without a donor wheel.

I have picked wheels up at the Dallas location and brought them back to Houston for other tech members. They were widened at the Dallas location and the work looked good.

I talked to someone at the Wheels America in Dallas just a few months ago and they were still doing it. Weldcraft would still be my first choice though.

Ive used Weldcraft but to narrow wheels and their work is excellent with no delays. Highly recommend them. If i had to narrow or widened again, i wouldnt hesitate or search elsewhere. Just go with them.
