Do's and Dont's

Do...

suggested methods

Complete a modification form and include a copy in the box(es). Don't forget the price quote!
Pack the wheel(s) very well. Included plenty of packing material and be sure the wheel is snug and well secured in the box. (Shippers don't care about your wheels, we do! Pack them well...
Be sure that wheel modification you would like done is accurate and descriptive on the form... ie. "add 1.5 inches" We WILL add 1.5 inches of band material.

*Note that due to the parting of the wheels, the net gain of the addition is subject to a cut tolerance of up to 1/8".*

4. If you would like the weld beads finished down, include that on the form. The process is an additional cost per wheel to perform.

5. Check over wheels for any nicks, dings or scratches before sending us the wheels, we want the customer aware of the damage before we begin the work.

DONT!

Do not....

DON'T use packing peanuts... These are a mess!
DON'T put the wheel in the box loose or with NO packing...
DON'T send us the center caps. We are not responsible for any loss of center caps/pressure sensors
DON'T send bad wheels or out of round wheels to be modified...
DON'T send wheels without a form... If there is no form, the wheels will sit and wait.
DON'T powder coat or paint wheels before a modification... we recommend doing that AFTER the modification as there will be a section of bare material when we are finished with them. (Sand blasting also interferes with the welding process.)

FAQ

I am not sure how much to widen my wheels. Can you help me?

All we will need to know is how much you want us to add or remove. Forums are a great place to start or if you have/know of tires that you'd like to use, speak with a tire professional and they can help determine your desired wheel width in relation to those tires. Check all clearances!

Please note that we don't know what our previous customers have done to their cars in order for their wheels to fit. There is much custom work out there! After the wheels leave here we may or may not hear back from them. Please check your clearances before sending us your rims.

Keep in mind our machinery has a cut tolerance of up to 1/16" or 1/8”. This means that if you ask to widen 3", depending upon the wheel, it may end up being 2-7/8" addition.
