Anybody know if I can get a set of magnesium wheels widened? If I can, any ideas as to where?
Thanks in advance,
Tony

Wheels America has 2 locations (I'm told) that widen wheels. Go to http://www.fixrim.com and make a couple of calls. They painted and clearcoated my Z06 wheels last month (SF) and did a fabulous job.

TRF,
Just curious here. Why did you have your wheels painted and clearcoated?
Did you go with a different shade?
I am looking into getting mine polished and still looking for a company to do it.

I had them painted a medium silver, with a slight metal flake. I thought the factory silver always looked dirty and I didn't want the flashy chrome. They're just right now. If you want to see a better picture of them let me know.

As far as polishing them, I quite sure Wheels America can do this for you. They have a Message Board on their web site and you may get your answer there now.
