Question Widening and narrowing stock wheels?

Does anyone know where you can send stock wheels off to get them widened and narrowed? Like this cobra?

Thanks

i would be that those are aftermarket wheels. you cant really take apart a cast wheel and change its offset/width.

Nope, Those arent aftermarket. There cobra replica wheel, there's a shop out in Texas that does it. I have also seen a F body with that done.
