Thanks for the positive feedback guys. The place that widened them charged me $400.00 for the pair. The other places I contacted would only widen them on the inner portion of the wheel which would require you to run a spacer. Plus I wanted the deep dish look and yes these are 11" wide now. Since I do powder coating for a living I see what high gloss black wheels look like and they tend to outshine the rest of the vehicle. This is why I opted for a semi gloss black.

How safe is it to widen a rim like that? I'd be scared of the welds coming undone if I hit a big pothole or something. They do look great though, I've always wanted to have my rear z06 wheels widened to 11", but I just feel more comfortable if the rim was cast to the proper width so it's all one piece.
