Default Company near DFW that will widen wheels?

Are there any companies around DFW that will widen wheels? Looking to make my rear 17x9 10-Spoke SS wheels into 17x11.5

Also, do they do powdercoating there? I have an idea.

I did a search, but it looks like Wheels America doesn't widen wheels anymore.

They still do it. But you need some donor wheels to cut up to widen....Basically you take them 4 wheels and get one pair of wider wheels.

I was told that you don't have to have donor wheels. I know BAIN got his rims widened from there, and he said he didn't need a donor.

When I bent two of my wheels I took them to Wheel America and they fixed them up and I got them back next day.
