For The Cost To Get That Done I Think You Would Be Better Of Finding A 16x10 Wheel To Fit Your Truck.

Aren't the stock wheels cast auminum? I doubt if you can find somebody that is able to do the job much less willing to do it. There are a bunch of stock wheel replica places that advertise in the back of car and truck magazines. You might get lucky and find some one who copies your rim in a wider size.

I have heard some really good stuff about them from friends. I have not used them myself though.

You could also use www.weldcraftwheels.com. They have been doing this type of work for over 30 years.

I thought Stockton only does steel wheels. If your wheels are steel then go for it, and yes I know they can get the bs you want!
