Anyone know of a good wheel widening company? I have 2 SSIII 15X7" wheels that I want to widen to 15X10".

Also, do you know of any manufacturer that sells trim rings for wheels that are wider than stock? Or is there a place that widens the trim ring as well so that it will fit the widened SSIII wheel?

Thanks!

Steve

P.S. A search of classicoldsmobile didn't produce any results.

It's been years ago but I had a set done at Willamette Wheel in Portland Oregon. John

I checked specialty wheel, I don't think they will widen your wheels. They manufacture stock looking wheels but no longer recondition your wheels.

Found one, thanks guys...Weldcraft Wheels in Mississipi. Stockton wheel used to do it but according to their website they closed for business on March 31, 2011.

Make sure to check your existing wheels to be true on a spin balancer before you ship them off to be widened. Stockton went through a set of six wheels before they found two that were true enough to cut and remount to DOT 10" rims. Those SSIII's and II's are VERY prone to warp, and when puchasing the buyer should be aware. Once they are done they do look tough though, a skoch heavy, but I suppose thats the price you pay. Also make sure to confirm the backspacing!!!!

I too had him do my old Chevelle wheels. Did a great job unfortunetly he no longer does it.

I spoke to them just recently by phone and they were good to go.
Did you speak to them or just check the web site?

To answer the other half of the question, the deepest chrome rings I've seen were for 15x8 wheels.
