Wheel widening?

Does anyone know if there is a place in Texas that can widen factory 18 bullitt wheels a couple of inches? The only place I found was in Detroit..

Be ready to spend big $$$ I went there to get a OEM mach wheel repaired and it was less expensive to buy a replacement..
Good Luck

what bullits have factory 18s?

If we are talking bullits and you only want to go to 10-11 in. it would be best to buy an aftermarket bullit rim. They are dirt cheap.


If it were another wheel, i might suggest wheels america.

Weldcraft can widen or make them thinner.
