Where in WA can i get my RT wheels RE- barreled

turbo_teg

I have no clue how i would even search the yellow pages or even google for a place that could do my wheels for me. want to do the normal make them 15's and widen them a bit maybe just a C hair more than my GT3's.... maybe we could do a sticky and anyone knowing of a place anywhere can post it up and maybe what they paid.

PM northwest_war_wagon.

He's in Portland, but he's the first person I'd ask.

ive heard of hot rod shops doing rebarrles...i asked my moms ex boyfriend a while ago and thats what he told me i should have done when i was looking to get a set of wheels widen'd

turbo_teg

hell ive met a guy who widened his own set of aluminum wheels but that was years ago i have no clue how i would even find him..... I guess i can start calling shops and see where they start sending me.

I've had no results asking around in the Tri-Cities =/ My car has steelies on it now and I really want to polish them and get them widened. If you find a place, I may have to make a road trip.

portland isnt far from u and i know people have gotten them done there. im thinkin im gunna just have to mail them out but im gunna try.

asnamasn

yeah if you know where to get some done in the portland area let me know. I live like 20 mins away from there xP

turbo_teg

someone chime in i know someone on the site mentioned something about getting them done in portland OR but for me at that far im better off shipping them to Cali.

asnamasn

i'll take a look as soon as i get some time on my hands and let you guys know.
You guys are just looking for a shop that extends steelies pretty much right?

these guys only want about $130 per wheel to have it widened. not bad! but you do have to ship the wheels to them (located in California)

turbo_teg

thats not bad but i just cant justify the price.... i have a set of RT's that i picked up a set of 185/70/14 studless snowtires for a killer price so im just gunna repaint them white find me 3 more center caps and rock them in the winter.

i just bought a set of RT's and i plan on having them widened. i will be doing a lot of searching and calling around. i will try to keep you guys updated on whatever i found out.

diamond racing in milwakee wisconsin- they take the face off of the wheel and reinstall it into a new barrel at our request. RT's are 14x5 stock. to get them to 14x7, it will be $155 per wheel and that includes powedercoating of white, black, or silver. they can also turn a 14 inch wheel intop a 15 inch wheel. thats $620 plus you will have to either take the wheels to them or ship. kind of expensive! i still have a few more places to call..

stay tuned!!

Stockton Wheel is way too expensive. I take my steelies to Bolton's Classic Wheels in Gardena, CA(SoCal). Rebarreling for $60 ea wheel. That's using brand new barrels with the old face welded into them. About $40-50 if you just want to widen the existing barrels. The guy does a great job too, no vibrations. Back in my VW days I had my 14x6 Scirocco steelies enlarged to 15x8 :shock:

Diamond Racing steelies are not for street use and taco very easily. For around the same price you can have your existing steelies enlarged with thicker gauge steel.
