I have never heard of any places in Houston that do it. Check out Weldcraft wheels they are suppose to be good and have decent turnaround time.

I hope you're trying to widen the ROH's and not the 16" Twisties.

Several years back I picked up some wheels at Wheels America in Dallas that had been widened. They were the only place he could find to do it so he took them up there. I brought them back to Houston for him.

I go back and forth occasionally as do some other members. I am sure someone could get them back and forth for you for a little gas $$.
