Gavins left from what I've heard. And they have recently had some trouble with a big run of lips and there prices have shot up quite a lot.

I'd use Pine Engineering down in Christchurch. Have had a pair done by them and know quite a few people that have had some from him and quality is really good.

Mag Fix is in Cambridge. 

No experience with them as far as widening anything, but they repaired a small scale replica of the Grand Canyon in one of the Fabias wheels last week for fuck all while the Wife was on her lunch-break.

Had some wheels repaired by them 10+yrs ago, (bbs wheels that had been slide into a curb), they did a top notch job but was quite a bit more than the estimate (although that's prob why it was a estimate) prob would have been cheaper to just buy some good ones but that's the risk I took

Website doesn't state widening either

Well, I wish I had got this done years ago, as its getting quite pricey.

 

Pine engineering haven't answered their phone yet, so TBA.

 

Elite wheels reckoned it could be up to $2g to do the set.

 

Arrow wheels wheels reckoned around $1600 a set.

 

41 deg wheels are $1380 a set.

 

That's all with me machining the outer lip off, and doing the reassembly myself.

 

Will seriously look at welding up and re-machining me thinks.
