Ben,

These were the Giulia 15 X 4.5 wheels. I had them widened 2". They were
widened by a specialist outfit here who do it by arc welding a "hoop" of
the required width and diameter. This is not a backyard job. The company
who did this was the only Motorsport Association of NZ approved wheel
modifiers in our region so that was the only place I would consider using
for something like this which would have severe consequences if not done
properly. The wheels look great, very much like the wide GTA ones, but they
are heavy! 

Les - crew member of an AUSTRALIAN racing team...! Sorry about all the
banter which has been severly misconstrued by some...
