There is a place in Houston, I'll find the name. I sent them an email almost two weeks ago and haven't heard back. I'd like to get a couple wheels widened.

Here is what I found:
Wheels America
Manager: Tommy Pina
Address: 4750 Sherwood Lane
Houston, TX 77092
Phone: 800-586-1311

I have been looking into doing this also, contacted a place here in dallas and it will be $200 a rim, starting to consider just getting different rims. I have seen some places that cost more but thats what the shop i dallas told me

I wouldn't let the Wheels America in Houston touch my wheels ever again. They have refinished several wheels for me and couldn't even get that right. Then they told me they weren't fixing it or refunding my money. Now there are other options in Houston for refinishing and they get it right every time for less $$$

I know guys in Houston have had the Wheels America in Dallas widen their wheels and were pleased. I actually hauled a set back for a guy about 2 years ago and it looked like they did a good job.

Good to know. I guess thats why I have heard about the Dallas location and not Houston.
