Okay, so as my topic subject suggests, im chasing a business somewhere in Australia that can make widened steelies

Ive picked up 3 widened cooper s wheels about a year or so ago. I also have a stock width cooper s wheel as a "donor". However everywhere i seem to ask doesn't do wheels that small anymore (and the one guy who told me i could has since shut up shop and moved interstate....i should have gotten them done then and there :( )

Everywhere i seem to find that does wheel work can only widen Commodore and Falcon wheels down to 13" in size

I really like how deep dish these 3 widened wheels are gonna look with hubcaps when its all done, and i really really REALLY want to get a 4th one made
a) to match the others
b) to complete my set

Ideally if i can find someone in Adelaide itd be ideal (but im drawing blanks so far), but will consider all options

You could organise it yourself. Get extra 'donar' rim, get them cut by someone with lathe, get halves welded together by welding shop.
Another idea is ask wheel mob you found if they'd do it if you supplied rims.
