Any one know anywhere in the UK you can get wheels widened. Theres plenty of places doing this in the states widening 6j wheels to 7's and 8's etc. Does anyone know anyone who does this here?

I have had several pairs of deep sixes widened to 7R spec but in Europe not here in the UK.

It's not cost-effective unless the original wheels you're replicating are prohibitively expensive (eg 7R's, 11x15's, etc).

What size(s) are you looking for ?

Im looking to get flat 6's widened to 7R width and offset. Can you recommend where you had them done?

I have a pair of 'flat sixes' that have already been widened (in the US) to 7R spec & re-anodised/detailed.

£700 pair.

Steve,

If you solve your problem with a purchase of 7's and have flat 6's to sell, I have a '72 911T and am looking for some. Call me on 01673 860334 if this is the case.
