      Weldcraft does nice work and has a fast turnaround time. For most jobs,they charge $125/wheel.

      Thanks Clint, you have given me the perfect answer to my upcoming dilemma. Not only will Weldcraft widen my 19x10's ($225 ea.), they will also weld my Vette Brakes adapter to the wheel to adjust the backspacing per my specs. Saves me nearly a thousand dollars over having to buy 2 new wheels!

      I spoke with them not too long ago, sounded like 2 1/2 is the widest. I would call and verify.

      Eric Vaughn in CA is probably one of the best at altering wheels. Not cheap at approx $300ea but he can add up to 5" to a wheel. He is the guy the wheel makers go. I am sending him a set next week. If interested I can post number. If you do search I am sure I posted before.

      I sent Eric Vaughn a pair of Corvette wheels to narrow,about seven or eight years ago. Never got them back. You really do not want to do business with that crooked SOB.
      If I ever meet that guy,he's got an asskicking coming. Trust me.

      Are you serious? He does most of the big name wheels. They do not make hoops wide enough and he is the one who does the work. I even asked Phil at PS and he was ok with him. Maybe I will check your guy out.

      You always find info here.
