I am sure it can be done, but when you consider what you would get for selling an existing set and then buying a new set with warranty and all, why bother? I assume duties and shipping maybe a factor for you, but widening will have costs also. So whats the deal? Should have asked, are they the cast or drawn and welded versions?
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Ah, what I should have mentioned is that American Racing Wheels don't produce the TTO in a 10" rim. The widest they offer is 8 1/2". So my plan would be to buy a pair in the States and get them shipped directly to a company that can widen them.
To my knowledge, there isn't a company over here that can do it.
So if you can give me the name of a reputable company it would be appreciated - possibly a website address as well?
Thanks.

Think it's a cast one piece. I'll need the 15" diamerer wheel. The only reason I'm asking about widening is because there's a guy on Ebay that has had a set of Torq thrusts widened to 14". I've emailed him to ask where he got them done but no answer. www.americanracing.com
