Widening wheels

Anyone on here ever widened a wheel by having it cut and and a new piece welded in?

I'm guessing not, but having a 93 Cobra, there are VERY few choices for this car in the 4 lug with the right backspace, that don't look like the wheels off that guy's car in Escape from LA... you kids may not remember that.

I can't see the issue here other than the potential cost.

Anyone???

Thank you.

I have not had it done... but I know a few guys that have... as you
said, no issue other than cost....

You can do what I did to my '89 LX which is switch to five lug. Then
you will open up your options substantially.

Centerline has a pretty broad selection of wheels.
They'll make most anything in whatever size/BS/lug
pattern you need. Not nearly as expensive as you
might think.
