Default Rim Widening in Texas

Anyone know a place in Texas that can widen rims. I have chrome 10 spokes and I would like to get the rears widened. I love the look of them, but need a larger tire in the rear. I am tired of sliding all over the place like a wild child.

Any suggestions?

Couple hundred a wheel, but cheaper if you supply extra wheels for them to cut up and use instead of their own stock. I'm going to narrow the front and hopefully use that scrap to widen the rear.
