    Where to get rims widened NSW

    I have a pair of GTS rims i need to get widened.
    I have a pair of 15 x 8 Cragar's and a spare pair of GTS rims that i thought would go well together.
    So i need somewhere they can become an item.
    I've been told of a place in Newcastle "PROMAC" that does them, but hear they are pretty shonky.
    Any suggestions as to where they can get done? (The closer the better of course)

    I am, you ask OZ!!!
    Van has no roof spoiler & will have Sandman stripes, but still have 2 options for it:
    Custom - Phase 5 scoop & triple grills and can have either Neale's Wheels or Strikers.
    Stock - Standard bonnet with Statesman emblem, Normal grill with Statesman lower grill & GTS rims.

    Change the look on how i feel.

    I've also got a couple of idea's, in my mind, on how to change the rear bar quickly from full bar to bumperette's.
    Might be some stuffing around to change from one to the other, but a couple of hours would see it done.
    Also MUCH cheaper then having 2 vans.

    Don't want the chrome look, (i've already got 2 sets of chrome rims), i'm after the fat stock look.

    Agro, if you want to have a look at what yours would look like with a set of 14x8 re-hooped GTS rims (265/50 and 245/50) you can borrow mine for a look if you're wondering.... They do sit flush with the rear guards on my ute, so depending on how low you're going you might need to lip them to suit.

    Personally yet to hear a (very) bad thing about Promac, was talking with one of the guys at my local servo about them and he was happy enough with work they had done for him, albeit slow... Have got a couple of spare GTS JJ's and a JK rim I am going to get repaired/straightened by them as soon as I get 5 minutes to get them into town for a ute tub trailer I am doing when I get around to it.

    Regards,

    Dave.

    Thanks for the offer dave, but i've already got 15 x 8 Strikers on the rear, so checking to see how they are is not an issue.
    It's just that i've got the Cragar's here so i'll use them to make 15 x 8's.
    If they do a good job i've got some chrome 15 x 8 hoops for 2 of the Neale's wheels.
