Having wheels widened correctly is expensive. Unless you are in love with your current wheels then I would just get different ones.

Depending on if they're steel or alloy it should be around 200ish a wheel as long as you aren't going mega wide.

A company called Weldcraft will widen wheels, I am have a set done so I can get a bigger drag radial on them and still have a stock appearing alloy wheel... keeps the sleeper effect.

Pricing varies depending on the material the wheel is made from, how much you want to widen them, and if they have to do any finishing like chrome.

I contacted them about widening a pair of VX wheels and they quoted me $150 per wheel. I would also have to get wheel spacers and extended lug nuts, so it was going to be over $400 just to have a factory looking pair of wheels. It was way cheaper to get Lensos.
