Default Widened Stock Wheels

Anyone run any widened stock rims on their setup? I am thinking about keeping the stock 16s on my new truck and just getting them widened to a 10-11" so I can run a fat tire.... anyone know who would be able to do this sort of thing and the approximate cost? I am going for the super sleeper look, chrome fender trim and window vent included

I've heard of them & they're local.

Also, it may be local for some, too far for others for shipping. Stockton in CA, I wanna say $500 or near that is what you're lookin at Richard. A friend had Stockton do up his Dakota rims. I also know of another place round here.

Those look tasty.

Look like pretty normal black powdered Esky rims, til u see M&H and opposite that, Racemaster.

Got any pics from rear of vehicle? Or a 3/4 rear shot?

While I'll never heard of that co., that doesn't matter. Sweet to know they're are more companies out there doin this than I 1st thought.
