DFW wheel widening/narrowing

Does anyone know a place in DFW that will widen or narrow wheels? Every place I call only repairs bent or broken wheels

I know of another place. Don't have the number at the moment. Wheel specialist I think? They widened 2 sets for me for my silverado. Great work.

That doesn't make sense, I've known people who have had their wheels widened by them.

What part of the wheel do you want widened? Do you want the inside widened, or the lip? If it's the lip, they won't do it.

Found a card navyss.
Specialist wheel repair- 214-397-9655
1121 Colorado Ln.
Arlington, Tx 76015

I've dealt with these guys first hand and have nothing but good things to say. His wife is usually the one that answers and doesn't know much. Ask for Jesus( I think that's his name ) I've put 10k+ miles on my 9in wide silverado 17s and 40+passes on my 10in wide silverado 17s with absolutely no issues.
