Unfortunately, I still haven't gotten my car back. The motor is assembled, back in the car and running, but it's still sitting at the shop waiting for a dyno-tune.

It cost me like $48 to ship the wheels to them, and the widening cost including return shipping came to $577.72.

Might be a dumb question but...does widening a rim ever compromise the integrity of the rim? I'd be scared if that weld ever started to crack...

Well, Weldcraft's site says that they've been in business widening wheels for over 30 years. I've known about their work for the past 10 years now. In that time span, I've NEVER heard of anyone having any problems with their welds breaking throughout the years.
