The Wheels America shop in Texas is the ONLY place on this planet that would widen aluminum wheels. And they charge $200 a wheel no matter how wide you want them. I think one guy posted on this board that he had a set of WS6 rims done such that the rears were widened to 14" and the fronts reduced to skinnies! Thank looked cool.

I searched and searched last year for any places that would do this as I wanted the outside lip done, but to no avail. But, as I was searching I found someone selling their widened rims as they were going to trade their car in on one they just ordered, so... I didn't have to wait! Well, I took my Speedline WS6 rims and tires off my car and sent them to him, and within a week his rims arrived. Of course, I had to buy all new tires, but I really wanted an excuse to by the F1 GS-D3's anyway. I think they were worth it!

Don't you?

And it sure does help with traction!!
