Houston Rim machine shops?

GETU1 · 10-20-2009, 01:24 AM

Anybody know of any good custom rim machine shops in Houston?? I'm fantasizing about having some custom rims made. I ran into one shop that offers this service, but they're third party dealers. I would like to find the source and maybe get them for cheaper. I would love to get the OEM Rays in a 20 x 10, 20 x 12 offset with a gun metal finish.

Well, try to search in some online site that you can find some information about machine shop that you are looking for. However, try to ask in some friends of you, I guess they know some machine shop that near in your location.

Closest thing I heard to this was people stretching the rim but it only adds width to the inside of the wheel...Which you would then need spacers to push them out.

As far as making them bigger - Well I think the only way to do that is to add a stepped lip and I'm not sure that would look good on the stock wheels...All of this would probably run you a good amount that could have been put forth towards a nice new set.
