Good luck man, there are a handful of guys in the whole US that have made a business of doing just what you are attempting and use special lathes and welders to accomplish it. Be careful, and be safe.

i would think the only way to cut it perfect would be on a lathe, and im not even sure how well that would work out. it seems like it would be a ton of work, so is it worth it? how much are you going to widen it? welding for a living is great, but there are some serious issues if he doesnt get it perfect. im not trying to ruin your day, but like jon said, be safe.

Not worth $160 a rim to risk my life with...or an innocent motorist.

i want to widen them 3''. i think am going to get and old axle an center it in the lathe and than bolt up the rim and cut it.I am going to be as safe as i can with it. I know that seems like alot to widen but weldcraft as done the same style rim to 3" wider.
