widen wheels "Torque Thrust II's"

[TRILOGYZ28]

anybody know who could widen an American Racing Torque Thrust II wheel for me....actually a pair of them, and approx. cost ?
going from 18x10 up to 18x12 or 18x12.5
thanks guys !

I would contact American Racing since they will do custom work. It may be cheaper just to buy another set and sell what you got.

Hey chuck, call em is best. The last time I called them (a year and ahalf ago) to check 12" hoops werent availible to them. They said it would have to be a 9 1/2" with an added section to it and it would run $1200 each to do. hopefully they have hoops now.

Chuck, you may want to consider Colorado Customs. They have very similar wheels available in those sizes.

ok,
just called and spoke with American Racing, they said that there is a high demand for the TTII in a 18x11 and 18x12 but they wouldn't know anything till the first of the year...
i just wander if i would be ok running a 315/30ZR18 on a 18x10 .......hmmmmmm

Why not...although not an 18" the 315's on the ZL1 Vettes were run on 10" wide wheels.

I think his name is Eric Vaughn of the old Real Wheels in CA. He sold Halibrand replicas but now only widens and narrows aluminum wheels. Kind of pricey though. I beleive approx $250 a wheel and you have to provide some sort of donor barrel for him to use. If you need his number I can dig it up.

Try Stockton Wheel in California. They will widen wheels...

I tried Stockton Wheel several months ago, and the response I got back in the email was "We don't widen wheels." Kinda rude if you ask me. I've had no luck either finding a place to widen some rims.

[BRIAN]

Stockton will only widen steel wheels. The only guy worth while is Vaughn. Actually if you even call Stockton they will recommend him. Just get yourself some cheap wheels in same diamater to use as extension for your rims. Trust me or you can even call Stockton.

good luck getting american racing to to widen the wheels . custom work you say they wouldnt build me a set of tt2 to my spec,s at any cost and all i wanted was 18x9.5

copo, I was quoted $385 per wheel for 18x10 with any backspace about 6 weeks ago when I decided to go to 18's. I have 17" TTII's now and decided not to get them because they are overplayed although I still like them alot. Going with Bonspeed instead.
