Wheel shop to change lips on wheel???
Ok so im trying to go the cheaper way here and keep my wheels i got...I dont wanna drop money on a new set if i dont have to....Plus i like the wheels i got but they dont make them in custom sizes....I went widebody on my car and need a wider wheel for the back...So if anyone knows any shops out there that can swap out the barrels on my wheels and go wider please let me know...Im in jersey but could ship the wheels.

I don't know of the east coast but there are many places here in cali.... For example:
http://www.ericvaughnmachine.com/Home_Page.html
I personally went over to his shop since my friend is getting work done, and the man is legit!
And this one is in michigan....
http://www.weldcraftwheels.com/index.html
They made this 18x8 into a 18x15...
It is hard to work with 2-3 piece wheels for some places but I know Eric in socal can do it.
You can also try to order bigger lips for your wheels through PIAA, or sickness would be getting the rear barrels off another Rozza pair, polishing them up and rocking that as front lips/barrels.

I'd be careful about welding aluminum wheels. I know many will claim that it's perfectly safe and know X number of people that have done it and nothing bad happened. I'd be concerned with the integrity of the wheel after the welding without any form of heat treating, not talking about the welded area itself, but the area immediately surrounding it. Most sanctioning bodies don't allow welded wheels, and I personally couldn't find any documentation on whether the wheels would still be approved for street use legally, in case of any insurance issues. It could just be that I haven't looked/searched hard enough though.
