    Widening style 40 roadstar wheels

    Have an extra set of wheels and thinking of widening to 8.35 inch ish front and 10 inch ish rear similar to the set recently for sale from msilva posted on this forum.

    Anyone kindly share the additional width added and on the outer and / or inner rim sections.
    Thanks

    Uh, while the billet Superstars are beautiful wheels, they be pricey: http://www.iconforged.com/
    Widening a Roadstar runs $200-ish per wheel; I suspect $200 wouldn't buy the bolt-together hardware for a Superstar wheel.
    There is also no 17" Superstar option; 18" and 19" only.

    OP, for your wheel widening needs, I suggest contacting James at Weldcraft Wheels: http://weldcraftwheels.com

    I was going to suggest he contact your guy but it appears he's in New Zealand. Hopefully he has local fabrication.

    Thanks for the replies. The Superstars don't light my fire, but do like the hidden hardware painted option.
    I'll flip off an email to James at Weldcraft wheels, and yes we do have the necessary fabrication skills here in NZ. I'd like to keep the off sets the same or as near as to the originals which was why we enquired about cutting once or twice,

    Thanks again
