Default Where to get a set of wheels widened.

Just picked up a set of (4) 10 spoke gm ss rims with new center caps for $300. One of the rims has some very minor curb rash. Seems like a good deal to me. What you all think?

I want to get two of them widened to 10.5 inches to fit a 315. I know one of the members on this forum did a pair through Weldcraft Wheels. I have heard good things about them. I called them today and they quoted me $175 per wheel plus shipping. I'm ok with spending a couple dollars for it to be done right. Any better shops out there?

Mine were done by Wheels America out in Texas, but I think Weldcraft does better work. Theres nothing wrong with my wheels, they balance out perfect, dont leak, etc, but from the pics Ive seen, the Weldcraft finish product looks better. They can probably easily fix the rash while they are there too.

Heres a link to my thread. The wheels look like they stick out past the fender in some pics, but they sit perfectly under the fender.
