Wheel Widening

Hi guys…apologies upfront if this is posted in the wrong section…..it said running gear sooo

Anyhow i can get my hands on a set of snowflakes…..practically new….thing is as we all know they're 14 inch….so I'd just like to widen them a bit

Im not really a fan of messing with the wheels but narrow 14's are not ideal to say the least.

Has anyone ever widened a set of wheels before? Would you recommend it from a safety perspective?

Steels get banded alot but not seen alloys been done

Widening an alloy must be a bit of a specialist job.

Okay i can see how steel wheels will be easier….im sure a few specialist shops can do it though? 

CR custom wheels are your best mate but they are not cheap
they will make them into 3 pcs splits
